We have the sorting trays. Definitely helps with the first sorting, but you still have to hand sort after because of cases that nest inside each other (9mm in 40S&W, etc).

We have been looking at that other contraption with the metal rods and the variable speed motor, but it is QUITE an investment.

So for now, its me, the Reloading Wizard, and sometimes our son (when he gets hungry enough). And the weiner dog, but she really isn't much help.

So anyone who wants to earn extra money, or extra brass to feed your own habit, is welcome to come and try out the sorting trays, anytime!

Brass and nickel cases are reloadable. Aluminum and steel are not.

So, if it looks like brass and a magnet won't pick it up, it's reloadable. If it's silver colored and shiny, it's probably nickel, and reloadable. If it's silver colored and has a dull finish, then it's steel or aluminum, and not reloadable.

BTW, I am not the reloader in the family. I am just the brass sorter. And I need help. Anyone in north Texas who wants to sort endless buckets, PM me. Really. Will pay in cash or brass.
