Brass sorting..

[CDiPrecision]

I rarely ever did this but am thinking of doing it. What is the best way??.. weighing cases and sorting by what intervals?.

Also I assume they are all kept together, and not intermixed afterwards(after firing ,during tumbling etc??.. Whats the easiest way for this?

How about weighing once fired cases??.. any concern about residue inside cases?

Re: Brass sorting..

7 years ago I sorted brass by weight.

Usually my accuracy rituals are so easy to perform and so hard to verify resulting accuracy improvement, that we just keep doing the ritual.

But not weighing brass.
It was enough effort, that I took the time, found out the contribution was negligible, and dropped the weighing ritual.

But my expectations are humble: any 100 yard 5 shot group smaller than 0.5" is a great group for me.

If you are in benchrest and want to get that .111" group down to .110", weighing brass may already be an important part of your regime.

Re: Brass sorting..

I have to agree on the weight sorting. In my experience the accuracy load in most of our rifles doesn't really show a marked improvement in size measurements if you are weighing cases over the non-weighed.

I do like to keep my brass in lot size boxes and shoot the whole batch before I reload. I will strive to buy 500 pieces of the same lot when I get a new rifle so I have that consistency that is inherent in the manufacture of that lot.
