I bought 10 gallons of mixed range brass and have it sorted by caliber and now need to sort come of it for large and small primers. Is there a fast and easy way to sort it?
I do the same but use a large primer pocket cleaner as my eyesight isn't what it used to be.I just do a quick clean on it, deprime/resize then sort the LP vs SP by hand. Easier to tell them a part with no primers.
I just watch the news/sports etc and sort in them then, Inspect them then as well, case mouth splits etc.

I had 15 lbs mixed range brass to sort. Did them one at a time using the large primer pocket tool. If it fit it went in a bowl (one for each head stamp) and if i didn't it went into this bag.
edit - Yes I deprimed them all 1st.

Me too, just a quick look and toss the SP ones in a different bucket. I don't pick them up at the range if I can help it though, I have too much LP .45 ACP brass.I can see the difference between small and large primer pockets,
Yeah, and I'll be eternally grateful to those companies for that royal PITA.BTW, those companies make/made both large AND small primer brass, so you can't just go by the headstamp
I actually prefer small primer brass as I don't have to change the primer setup on my press (only takes a minute, but still...).Yeah, and I'll be eternally grateful to those companies for that royal PITA.
