I know there are a lot of people that say there is no reason to sort by headstamp when reloading 9mm. I guess the OCD in me takes over, because I can stand it not sorting my brass. Up until now I would sort in to three buckets. Federal, Winchester and everything else. The majority of the brass I have picked up at the range and bought at gun shows is Federal and Winchester. I figured that once I got enough in the everything else bucket I would sort that also. Last night after dinner my 8 year old son asked if we could go down stairs and sort brass. The only thing I had to sort was my everything else bucket. I marked up some old baby formula cans and we went to it. When it was all said and done with I ended up with five of those and ten of these, type deal. There is three brands that I ended up with 100 to 300 of each. CBC, PMC and R-P. I did some research and found out who makes them. I figure I can use this brass when I shoot league because I really don't have time to pick up my brass.
I am looking for input from the vets here. Out of those three brands are they all alright to load? Are there any brands that when you are sorting brass you automatically throw in the scrap pile? I have searched the web and really can't find any info on head stamps except who makes what. I used this website for my research. http://www.afte.org/ExamResources/gallery2/v/Headstamp-Gallery/ I just thought about this and I don't know if it matters. I plan on loading 147g CMJ Montana Gold CMJ bullets in this brass.
