That’s like holding your sneeze until you get on a crowded bus. It’s just spreading the virus farther.

OP, A person that gets into things like this should have a good 115piece drill bit set(fractional, letter & number sizes) Makes a great way to check you mic & caliper. Can use as gauges in many gun/ammo projects. Perhaps make your own mounds/ dies.

Simplest method I have found & one that can be mindlessly performed while watching a game on TV is to (prior to decapping) run a spent 22 long rifle case across the 45 case’s primer … the 22’s mouth will catch on a large pistol primer (pocket), whereas it slides right over a small pistol primer.

Interesting. And sounds like a rattlesnake? Washboard? Baseball cards on bicycle wheel spokes?

LOL!!! Who, me? Nah!
I think Markie-Mark should put his new 3D printer to use and make a tool for separating cases by primer size.

@CQB45ACP …
The only thinking going on is to be sure the checked cases get tossed into the correct bucket
It’s far more tactile than it is audible … I suppose if one had cases lined out in a snug loading block, there might be that jointed rail, clickety-clack sound, but not so much with individual cases.

I’m trying to design a SPP LLP .45 separator. So far, I might need a wear-houseLOL!!! Who, me? Nah!

I think the gauge pin might work better

Stop the presses…
Having successfully created sofware to separate cases via headstamps, this savant has moved on to separating 45 cases by way of primers:

Sorting 45 ACP brass
I’m fortunate to have a range where a lot of folks don’t pick up their brass so I have a ready supply of pistol brass whenever I need it. I processed some 45 auto this weekend and now I’m going through the tedious process of separating the LPP from the SPP. I’m ~100 into this pile and I’m...

I set my Dillon 650 up for LPP with a universal decapping die and ran the mix of unsorted brass through the press feeling for resistance on station #2. This worked pretty well for me
