Here is an old timers trick that I was showed almost 50 years ago and I had a chance to use it yesterday. I have some 223 ammo with primers installed about 7 years ago and the cases showed signs of tarnish so I decided to toss them in my RCBS Vibrator cleaner. After about three hours I took them...

I bought 1K rounds of Lake City loads and I was wondering if they all weighed should weigh the same. I have a GRAM scale so I weighed them. I got anywhere from 11.80 grams to 12.09 grams, is this normal or should they all weigh the same? Seems to me with all things being equal they should weigh...
