I'm looking for a way to mark my plinking ammo to make it easier to sort brass when I get back from the range.
I often shoot a bunch of reloads (mixed brass), and pick up a ton of once-fired cases while I'm there. Right now, I try and police my brass and separate it from the stuff I pick up so I don't waste time re-swaging stuff, but I'd like to be able to just throw all 5.56 brass I can find on the ground around me into a bucket, and quickly sort it out at home. Anyone use this stuff? Makron Primer Sealer I figure some unique color marking on the primer will allow me to quickly identify my brass from once-fired stuff, and allow me to quickly sort a mixed bucket at home. Is there a cheaper alternative? |

I use on of these.
After loading and before I put them in storage boxes I just mark them with this. Grab a case and stamp it onto the pad. it dries overnight. I pick up brass at the range and toss it into an ammo can. When I get home I sort by caliber and "my" brass and "new to me" brass. The green color is easy to see after it has been fired. I am sure red would work too. Back does not work so good as it is hard to distinguish from carbon. I tried a black sharpie at first but found that process to be real slow compared to using a stamp pad. The only downside is the stamp pad ink takes a day to dry. I stamp them and toss into a bin until dry then I put into final storage. |
