when sorting cases ??

[rmist]

I just started to weigh some Lapua 6br cases. My question is... What do you keep for the record cases ?? How much difference in a sorted pile of cases??
Thanks again

Mine are between 125.46-126.75 gr measured on a Gem pro 250

I try to keep my records and last three sighters within a tenth. I also weigh before I do anything to the case. Matt

How many case are you sorting? I did one box and don't have ten within a .10 !!

i usually do 500 minimum. But I shoot 1000 yard BR and like my cases close. Matt

Ok.... Guess I have a lot more cases to do. I do six more boxes. Why do it before any case prep work?

I believe if the weights are close enough when they are new they are good after the work is done and fireformed. I have never had a bad set or a case I had to take out of my rotation. Now we have pits and every shot on the target is marked so you know which ones go out. I never shoot my case out of order. Number 1 stays number 1 till the set is thrown away. We shoot 10 shot groups light and heavy and never had a set that wouldn't shoot small. Matt

All of your record shots are marked....where are you shooting BR 1000 yds that does that or is it f class??

Williamsport and Reade, both in Pa. That is BR. Matt

Thank you both for your replies. I was asking where because the last time I shot at Williamsport they didn't mark the record shots but just the sighters. I do take heed to what the top shooters here say and try to do the best I can with that info. I will take this info do more at my bench with it. I hope to get to a couple matches at Williamsport this year. I'm just a couple hours south. I've never been to Reade...maybe this year.
Thank you both again,
