Weighing to sort or to figure powder charge? To sort, prior to lubing/sizing. To figure powder charge, after. The lube weight is part of the weight of the projectile.

Wayne nailed it. I weigh to sort.
I figure, the lube and gas check will weigh virtually the same.

Exaclty. If I am looking for internal voids, weighing w/o lube works best.

If you size and lube first and then weigh them, those that are out of the slot ie. + or - a given weight you have wasted a GC (if used) or the lube. Always weigh first as you will always have some rejects. I think this is what the other guys are saying. Hope I haven't put words in anyone's mouth. I do not weigh pistol bullets.
