We need to invent a graduated tumbler that would sort by size, It wouldn't help when some of the smaller ones get lodged into the larger casings, but it might be a good "first run" at sorting!Crossfire wrote:Brass and nickel cases are reloadable.

Is there a harry potter style incantation that makes them glow?
So, if it looks like brass and a magnet won't pick it up, it's reloadable. If it's silver colored and shiny, it's probably nickel, and reloadable. If it's silver colored and has a dull finish, then it's steel or aluminum, and not reloadable.
BTW, I am not the reloader in the family. I am just the brass sorter. And I need help. Anyone in north Texas who wants to sort endless buckets, PM me. Really. Will pay in cash or brass.
