as to the military rifle cases (e.g. L.C.)....

iirc, according to Speer #13, military brass has thicker walls. since the outside dimensions are standard for the caliber, that makes the inside volume less. powder charge should be reduced (Speer suggests 10%) to avoid dangerous overpressure.

so.. for rifle cartridges, unless you are both (1) working at the very low end of the recommended powder charge range, and (2) not particularly interested in accuracy.. you might consider separating out military cases.

indeed, for rifle many folks treat each headstamp separately.

for pistol, particularly low pressure calibers like 45colt, 45acp, 38spl, most folks throw them all in the same bag.
