Weight tolerance for brass?

[Pappasniper]

I weighed 3 brands of brass for the first time the other day. The black hills ranged from 239 to 247, huge variance. My Norma stayed within 2 grains at 223 and my RWS stayed within 1 gain at 278. All brass had primers in.

I was really shocked at the black hills. My question is this " what tolerance do you keep before you start seeing it on paper" ? I hear Nosler weighs their brass, what do the top companies try to keep their max variance ?

I sorted the black hills holding two grains and should have some great brass. A friend did a backwater class and shipped me 265 pieces, so I want to make it work!

You can shoot so good that weighing cases is the only improvement left that will put you in the realm of Gods in the shooting world? Spend more time on the range and less on the reloading bench.

Ah yes...the gotta weigh the brass thing and the discoveries it yields.....

One grain equals one seven thousandth of a pound, FYI.

The next time you trim your brass, and we all know you will, put some of those little bity shavings on your scale and see what 2 grains of brass really is.

I second the advisement of just go shoot more........

I have resigned myself to never comment about brass weighing again. Some things just can't be fixed.
I have weighed brass, and that is why I don't weigh brass.

I have never had any luck with black hills of any caliber. Why anyone would buy that vs federal gold match is beyond me.

Friends don't let friends shoot blackhills - CLASSIC.
