For the most part, this is the way I do it too. Sometimes I just get curious (like my recent binge weighing a run of 429421), other times I weigh bullets to see if I have the mould figured out (the Lee 405 hollow base for my 45-70 took some tuning/individualization of my technique to get things worked out). Mostly though, I weigh when I get curious for one reason or another.I don't weigh sort, unless I were to be shooting in rifle competitions, then I'd weigh sort bullets "as cast."
But it is a good practice to do once in a while, to check the results of your casting technique.
I only sort Rifle and do so when they are ready to load.
I buy small durable ziploc baggies that can be labled.
Geez... looks like a candy store.I like Mayonnaise and Peanut Butter plastic jars. I have many people
Saving them for me! My small baggies fit inside!!

We alway keep Planters Dry Roasted peanuts in the house and our camp. Wife buys the big clear plastic jar and they have become my go-to container for cast bullets. Because they are square, I can put one on its side and reach inside the giant mouth to grab bullets when I'm weighing out a bunch for an upcoming match. It's almost like Planters designed these for cast bullet guys.
CW, think how much more efficiently you would use the space on your shelves if you had all your bullets in these containers? No gaps between jars.
Initially, I would soak the lables so I had a nice plain and clear jar. That got old quickly and I'm okay with the label staying on. Seeing what is inside is not a problem.
