Sorting Brass by Headstamp

[BushMaster-15]

Rifle brass YES , Pistol brass ( Kind of ) . Major players R&P , Win, and any of their other #6 headstamps go into the same pile . IMI ,Federal ,PPU .
Everyone else's into a pile including foreign headstamps .

After initial cleaning I decapped ,then fully cleaned dried and semi sorted over #20 different .45 acp head stamps . IMO ,too time consuming unless You're shooting competition . And IF You are ,you're NOT using range scrounge brass to begin with are you !.
IF I need load development ,I simply segregate Name brand brass and use it ,otherwise WHAT'S THE POINT ,wasting more time I don't have ?

The other week I grabbed a bag of 300 decapped and cleaned mixed hs .380 brass, sorted it into three batches of 50 for loading up some partial boxes of leftover bullets and ended up with one box of 50 that’s all WIN hs. They just fell that way.

Does sorting my pistol brass help anything? Probably not.

I sort my pistol brass because I want to. No other reason needed...

Absolutely right. No reason is needed.
Personally, I don't sort a darn thing. I don't target shoot at long ranges, I only work up hunting loads for rifles. My rifles are tools, nothing more.
For pleasure I shoot pistol, and I don't sort them either.
Neither side is wrong. Different strokes for different folks.
