I just weighed and measured 8 random pieces of 10mm (yellow) Starline brass for you guys.  Its part of a box of about 500 of them I got from Dad before he passed.  I haven't even dipped into this box yet as I have about 1000 pieces of brass that I'm using for my light target loads and I haven't had a real reason to need to use my new stuff.  :)

Here are the weights and lengths for the 8 I measured.... in no particular order (and the lengths and weights don't match up to the corresponding columns so just take the group of weights and group of lengths separately.

Weights
70.6
70.0
70.8
71.4
71.0
70.6
70.8
70.8

Lengths
.986
.986
.986
.988
.991
.990
.986
.984

Hope this helps....

I was curious about some of the older 10MM brass that I have so I weighed and measured 8 different pieces, that is 8 different headstamps.I have anywhere from 100 to 200 of each.This is brass that has been shot,sized an tumbled and ready to be reloaded. There is no nickel brass in the group.

All of the brass was weighed on a Hornady Lock-an-Load digital scale,an measured using a digital caliper. I don't think that midway offers their brass anymore an have not seen the PPU brass in sometime.
