Weighing primers the Ingenuity way

Looks like a good way to have some primers detonate, especially if you get some dust build up. No way would I personally do this. Maybe I am over reacting, but maybe not.

How do you determine, if the weight differences are being caused by the priming compound vs other components?
That's a very good question.
The answer lies in the velocity variance one can see when comparing the lightest to the heaviest within a brick of primers. The variance isn't large, but it detectable as shown in different people's testing, including my own, which all results pretty much line up. Also, when I look at their numbers and my numbers, a couple of those primer outliers mixed in with, say 50 load rounds, can been seen as a discernable higher SD for those 50 rounds compared to 50 rounds using primers of the same weight. And it's repeatable.
That’s not really necessary, I sort all my primers in ‘gram mode’ and just shoot them in their batches, culling extremes.
It’s been proven at longer range several times that the heaviest have a different point of impact then the lightest.
