The LPP primers seem to be all different colors. The small primers so far all look the same. I will see if I can upload a picture of one (SPP) when I get home today.
I already mentioned, it might not be the best deal. No crimps so far. Sorting is easy since there are so many SPP. I just set the LPP ones aside. About 95 % SPP. Sorry for the delay in posting a picture. Had to fix the pellet stove burner fan. Goofed up the wiring and blew the control board fuse. All fixed. Anyhow below is a picture of some primers.

Also a good lesson in economics—shows the relative cost of labor is higher even than primers.
I’m distracted every time I see bullets like that —not a taper or roll but a painful crimp. I didn’t even do that when starting out.Not to mention few want to risk their brand by using seconds or otherwise already compromised components.
There are also enough folks out there that will accept these used components at a reduced price and accept whatever they get.

Makes the pill of a garbage production run easier to swallow, when you don’t have to scrap everything and instead just sell the problems to some willing buyer.

What in the…who is that? You? No, not you it’d be automated and on video. Seriously, that’s ugly.You have to realize the people that are working at places that make ammunition are many times not firearm enthusiasts or even ever read anything about reloading. They are just doing what they are told, putting components into a machine and going to get someone when it stops. At least when they are lucky, when they are unlucky, they ride in the passenger seat to the hospital…

No, not me. A friend of mine worked for a manufacturer and would send me photos of damaged employees from time to time. Lots of head scratchers, like that one.
I bet that fellow makes a fist every time he walks by whatever machine he stuck his fingers in that day..,

Try another region of the country for a different perspective. Especially more urban areas with only indoor ranges that restrict brass retrieval to only what you shoot.I never understood the purchase of common caliber pistol brass.
I can easily find at least 25 pieces of 45 ACP brass every time I go to the range.
I now have at least 2,000 pieces of .40 and I don't even own one.
I have enough 9mm that I don't even make the effort to bend down and pick it up anymore.
