It all depends on what you are trying to do. Plinking loads, hunting loads, SHTF loads or precision loads.
I don't understand the fixation on case weights and case capacity. there are lots more important things than that to consider.
like you said "it all depends on what your trying to do".
Just got back from the range. Had a bit of good luck today. I was processing my brass and noticed that a ding started to show up on the beveled part of the cases. Pulled the die out found that there was a piece of metal like a ball from welding spatter that was stuck inside the case. It must have stuck to one of my cases and was pressed into the surface of the die. I could not remove it.
Not wanting to shut down I set up my neck sizing die from the set and then sized 10 cases.
With 10 cases FL resized and 10 Neck sized only I reloaded all 20 with 24.5gr of CFE223 and 75 gr A-Max bullets and headed for the range. I shot four 5 shot strings and each successive string got tighter. The final one can be covered with a dime and measures 3/8 center to center. I can't post pix here or I would show the holes next to a dime.
I think I'm making progress.
sounds like your on the right track now.
