Hi,How do you ensure the brass will fall into place on its base?
If it falls mouth first, it will straddle the primer "button" In the loading block. But, then you would see which type primer it takes. Also, that brass would be hard to get out without long tip tweezers or or something stuck into the flash hole.
Reason I asked is I tried something like this with the plastic trays that come with .45 and 30-06 comm'l ammo by hand pouring over the trays and 20 to 30% went in upside down.Hi,
I just put the sorter into a tight fighting box and dump the brass in and shake it. Almost all of them fall base first into the sorter. A few fall base up, so all you do is pull them out. For the tweezers, like I said in my OP, they open wide enough to grip the inside of the case and pull it out. I can make a video if this isn't clear enough.

Hi,You need to get a patent on that tray or other will copy it and sell it , and will make a mint.
Hi,
Thanks, but like I said before, I'm not interested in making money from this, just sharing what I think is an easy, common sense solution to a problem we in the shooting community have. Besides, here's one result of a quick search on the cost of a patent:
"How Much Does it Cost?
A patent can cost from $900 for a do-it-yourself application to between $5,000 and $10,000+ with the help of patent lawyers. A patent protects an invention and the cost of the process to get the patent will depend on the type of patent (provisional, non-provisional, or utility) and the complexity of the invention."
I don't think I really want to spend that kind of $ to get a patent.

Ed
Don't forget the maintenance fees. Since you're a "micro entity" (I think), that'd be $400 at 3.5 years, $752 at 7.5 years, and $1,540 at 11.5 years.Hi,

First, my EggCrate lens
Hi,I never thought it difficult to sort one from the other. I sort my cases by brand and normally they sort themselves. I have yet to find one brand with both sizes. I have reloaded using both, it is no big deal either.
Cool that you design your own tool though. Put it on Cults3D. Your upload date is proof of origin and you can charge a specific price for people to download the file.
I've been reloading for decades and until recently I naively thought all this stuff was standardized.
I have .45ACP cases using both SPP and LPP from Blazer, Federal, and WinchesterI have yet to find one brand with both sizes.
