Sorting .45 ACP brass by number of loads...

[popbang]

I sort brass that I buy new and track it. But the range pick up 45 ACP brass gets loaded and put in an ammo can loose. Heck I don't even have a clue how much is there. I just scoop out what I want to shoot at the range, and who knows how many times it has been loaded.

Shoot em till they split!

With target loads that works. I do the same with 10mm in a target/IPSC loading. When they split or the primer pocket won't hold any longer.

At this time, I'm sort of compromising. I'm
gonna keep sorting by headstamp, but throw all my brass of known origin, (that is, stuff I bought,) together and quit separating by number of firings. That'll make life much simpler.
Brass that I scrounge at the range, or some stuff that was given to me by my wife's uncle, who had no idea where he got it, will go into it's own batch. Until, at least, I find that I can't tell the difference between the two batches...
The part of sorting that was getting way out of hand was keeping track of different groups of the same headstamp, but different number of firings. DONE with that!
