    weighing brass - worth it or not?

    Re: weighing brass - worth it or not? I weigh and sort my brass that I plan to shoot at 600 or 1000yrd. At long ranges I think it helps control vertical. Meaning heavier cases have less internal capacity and create high pressures. This leading to high ES/SD velocities. How ever I have shot...

    Concentricity Problems

    Re: Concentricity Problems Dan, How far are you shooting? If shooting at 100yrds runout doesn't really have that much affect at this range. Also I have seen some lapua brass have a lot of runout in some of there cases. Not too many but some. I usually set these aside for fouling or...
