Federal and Lake City seem to be the most common brass brands in my range pickups. But there's a variety in the headstamps of each. Do I need to further segregate by those differences? Like some federal has 223 Remington on the rim, some has the letters very close or others very spaced out, some have a 2 digit year. Some lake city has LC on the rim twice, and if course there's different years.
Also, how many stamps do you typically separate. I also sorted for WCC & Speer just because they seemed to come up often enough. But I really don't have that many compared to FC & LC, at least without further sorting by the details mentioned above. Plus the WCC also has about as much variety in the appearance of the stamp.
I separated the little PMC brass I have found so far since I've read a bit about those having much lower case capacity/much thicker brass.
