Title: Brass sorting trays (video)
Post by: Intercooler on August 31 2013 07:53:48 AM MDT
   I pick up brass at the Range if people don't want it or leave it behind plus with the new .22LR/.22WMR I end up keeping all of those too. About once a week I sort brass (doing it today) and spend an hour each time doing it. This looks real handy and I may spring for one:



All of the reviews on Midway seem pretty positive

I have one I bought from Dillon. Case can still get inside of each other, like the video shows but for the most part it is a real time saver.

   The other option I was considering was to see what some of the local stores have for a divided container. If I could find one with divisions for 9mm, .40, .45, 10mm and .22's, that about covers it. I rarely see .380 or any other calibers at the range. Usually when I pick them up they aren't intermixed and I could nail right there with a 6 compartment!

My fired Brass go right back into the Ammo Box they came out of
I know if I've lost any before I leave the Range
And I use my Three Can Tumbler, so I can clean different sizes at the same time
No real need to sort that way

   Good idea on putting them back in the boxes. I also pick up brass and some is in calibers I don't even own  :o

The other day someone left some .500 Mag brass there and I grabbed it!

Yeah, but us packrats pick up brass OTHERS have left behind. I get a lot of free brass I don't shoot and can swap for brass I do shoot at ammobrasstrader.

Great find
I can't imagine owning a Gun like that and not planning to reload for it

Yeah, one day I looked down on the ground at my range andthere was more than 50 .454 Casull and over 50 .45 Colt cases left there. Since I shoot both that was quite a treat!

100 Once Fired Cases ?
I know reloading isn't for everyone, but it has always seemed a waste of money to leave your Brass on the ground
$30.00 easy    8)

It's like those GEICO commercials with the motorcycle dude made of money I guess. Some people have too much and can afford to throw them away.
