Thanks Neil.
My case halves are within 3 pounds of factory each. I refuse to dig deeper to save more weight. In fact, there are places where I did not extract all the weight I could have. As an example, look at the deep recesses by the air guide bosses. We didn't mill ours that deep at all.
Why not go for ultimate weight savings? Because at 3 pounds per case half, or 6 pounds total, the strength trade off is not worth it. I'd rather have the meat in those areas so that my cases can be ultra strong and no one ever needs to worry about how much power the case can handle.
A 6 pound difference is easily negated by the driver skipping the Big Mac for lunch
