I’m fortunate to have a range where a lot of folks don’t pick up their brass so I have a ready supply of pistol brass whenever I need it.
I processed some 45 auto this weekend and now I’m going through the tedious process of separating the LPP from the SPP.
I’m ~100 into this pile and I’m getting about 10% SPP (Blazer and a couple of Federal)
The last time I did this I was thinking I need to come up with an easier process. Maybe decap them and use a pin gauge as a go/no go.
Another thought was to set up the 650 for LPP and just run them all through, letting the press sort them out when I feel resistance on the primer stage. That’s how I deal with crimped 9mm but it’s a lot lower percentage so the interruptions are few.
What are you fellas doing?
ETA, I also don’t trust my calibrated eyeball to spot all of them so even doing it manually has a degree of error in it
