Hey all..just finished weighing 500 new Starline cases received 2 days ago....172 grains to 175 grains... acceptable spread or not..?? Should i just load them without any regard to weight ..of course following prudent reloading from starting loads and working up ...??? Three grain variation does not seem a big deal......what say ye learned gentlemen...??? Thanks for your help...!!!

I wouldn't sweat it for my purposes.
How uniform are the neck walls?

How uniform are the neck walls? I wouldn't either. Just for schidts and giggles, I'd re-weigh them after once firing, trimming and chamfering. I'll bet numbers would go down a bit on standard deviation between weights. Not that I'd do that myself, but it sounds like the op likes weighing stuff.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I did the weighing thing years ago. Target shooters may fine it useful but I never saw a benefit to my shooting. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/rpx8fCwn/Sorted-220.jpg)

I would be thrilled with 500 cases that varied only +/- 1.5 grains, as your Starline do. Go forth and shoot 'em!

I’ve never bothered with that, get good groups with mixed brands of brass, but 300 yards is a max shot where I hunt.

I separated out some RP 257 Roberts cases last year. Case wt used. 5 @ 168gr, 5 @ 171gr, 5 @ 174gr. Loaded them all with a middle of the road 46gr of Hybrid 100V and a 100gr Hot-Cor, Fed 210M. Mean for the 168 cases was 2937fps, for the 171 cases 2946, and for the 174 cases 2970. I don't worry about it much anymore.
I guess if I was loading on the ragged edge I'd keep an eye on it.

It's akin to propellant charge weight variations. Hint.
No thanks. Hint....................

I weighed cases years ago but for my shooting and hunting needs it turned out to be an exercise in futility.
