I understand CCI Benchrest have more quality control checks, down to weighing each primer, than any other American primer.

I doubt weighing primers are worthwhile. How much of the total weight is part of the metal parts and how much is the priming pellet?
Depends on what each set of parts weigh. And I don't think one will take the primer apart to weigh just the priming pellet that detonates when squished between the anvil and bottom of the primer cup. A large rifle primer has more weight in its metal parts than the pellet. The pellet weighs less than on grain and the rest of the primer weighs about 5 to 7 grains. So it's going to be difficult to weigh just the pellet and note 10% or so weight differences.
