I used to turn my brass, now all my chambers are no-turn Blue Box Lapua.
I shoot only Lapua cases.
I anneal after every firing, cases are sized on Whidden Bushing FL Dies
When shooting SMK's I used to measure and sort them LTO, now I shoot Bergers and do nothing but measure a few to get a length and then 99% of that batch fall right into place.
My primers are seated with a K&M tool and match charges are weighted on a A&D EJ-123 scale.
My SD's are under 5.
That is ENOUGH!
I have never weighted a piece of brass, I know that some people do, but I have found that with all that I do, I get excellent match ammo. I have heard that some people weight primers too, that'll never happen.
I guess the long and short of it comes down to your satisfaction and confidence in the round that you have made giving you the best chance to have it go into the X ring. You can sacrifice a chicken as far as I'm concerned and if you're happy with it, go for it.
