This is a question for the more target orientated of you.
Out of interest, I recently weighed a batch of ammunition that I had loaded (7mm-08 in Norma brass) and found a considerable variation in the weights of the assembled rounds, approximately 1.4 grains lowest to highest weights, so I pulled a few heads to check the powder (doubting myself), but found that the powder was the only consistent component in the whole assembly. I've never felt it necessary to select brass by weight in the past (or case volume or neck turning for that matter) but this has got me thinking.
My question is, do you select brass before or after you have performed other prepping operations, or in other words, in what order do you perform your selection and prepping operations?
