I've got around 4 gallons of mixed .38 SPL and .357 Mag brass. Anyone got a quick way to sort the two?
I use a mtm/berrys plastic ammo box load 50 pcs brass and you can see the height difference easy, I cut the lid off so its a tray fill with brass pick out / separate
I use this style for 9mm /380 sorting too
This. It's also the way I sort 9mm from 380 and 9mm mak.I have not found a way other than standing them up on a table or other flat surface and seeing the difference in case length. Sorry...
That isn't OCD.If you're an OCD lunatic like me, then you sort by headstamp within calibers anyway... so you sort it out then.
I am thinking about use of a baking pan, laying all the brass down, lining it up along the rim and then easily enough comparing lengths.I've got around 4 gallons of mixed .38 SPL and .357 Mag brass. Anyone got a quick way to sort the two?
I keep my 38spl and 357mag brass together until after resizing. Resizing is done on a single stage and I can feel the difference between the two. After resizing I sort by headstamp so I have the difference in resizing feel and looking at the headstamp that helps me sort them out. When it comes to loading time then they all go in a tray, so any incorrect sorts sorts will show.
