When i have range brass i seperate it and wet tumble all of the cases that can be tumbled together without cases going inside of larger cases then i will seperate them by caliber.
I use the Lee Unversal Depriming Die.
I have good lighting and with nice clean cases I can look inside of moct cases and see if they are boxer primed or berden primed.
If I just want to knock primers out without looking in every case I will go with the flow and set aside any case that has more resistance the usual.
Then I will look and see why.
berden primed,
Small flash hole,
Off set flash hole,
Boxer primers that are oxidized or whatever so the primers will not pop out like the rest of the batch.
Which all get the case mouth squeezed and thrown in the old morter shell to be recycled down the road.
The bad cases goes in one mortor shell and the spent primers go into another moror shell.
With range brass you never know what's - what until you get it processed.
As with all of my reloading equipment I like to have extra tools and parts on hand so if something gets bent or broken I just grab what I need and keep on truckin.
I do have three of the Lee Depriming Tools all set up and ready to use as well as extra Squirrel Daddy depriming rods.
