I weigh them all and take measurements with a dial caliper.  You can't correct your mistakes in casting if you don't identify them.  Amazingly, my casting is producing fewer and fewer balls that are out of spec.  And my cast balls are much more consistent is size and weight than any swagged balls I ever bought.
