Sorting pistol range brass

(1/3) > >>

OnTheFly:
Just curious.  Does anyone sort their pistol brass by headstamp so that they can make brass specific adjustments to their reloading process.

Also, regardless if you sort or not, please let me know how many pistol rounds you reload on average in a year?

I understand that each case manufacturer is slightly different in thickness, length, etc which could mean some fine tuning adjustments to case belling, crimping, OAL, etc, but I'm curious how many take the time to go to the extent of sorting by headstamps.  Especially those that are reloading 5, 10 or even 20K per year.

I separate by head stamp.  More of a mental thing for me though.  Not sure how many I reload each year (guess I never keep track) but I reload 6-7 different calibers

newfalguy101:
Don't reload as much as I used to, but, I have never sorted by headstamp.

I don't own any guns that are accurate enough ( with me pulling the trigger at least ) to tell the difference.

bkoenig:
I don't bother for pistol brass. 

Mudnrox:
For Bulls eye, you may want to check all of those things, but for action pistol type of matches and practice all of the brass works the same.

OAL will not change with brass length, only how far into the chamber the round will go when in battery.

I loaded and shot 10-15K rounds of 9mm this year between myself and my daughter.
