Winchester 69Don't bother to sort out anymore than you're prepared to load.

TailgunnerMy wife sorts mine, other guys use their carpet crawlers for sorting. I've even heard of guys using their neighbors carpet crawlers to sort brass.

silverbackThanks guys. A freind of my son's has built a manual sorter. I am looking forward to seeing and using it. If it looks good and works good I will post pics, etc.

CharlieHoI've seen/heard of a someone cutting certain size slots in a plastic bucket and rotating it to get the brass to fall through.
Obviously, you'll need a different bucket for each caliber, and it won't seperate the 9's stuck in 40's, or 40's stuck in 45's, but it'll help with the loose ones a lot

Do they do your trimming too? I might just want to borrow a wife and couple of litttle ones

fredj338Guys, make sure those little ones wash their hands well before tey eat anything. There is quite a bit of lead residue left over on the inside of the cases after firing. Me, I just hand sort in front of the boob tube. It's usually more entertaining.
