    Flipside, if you're poor and run a Lee APP on everything, the feed mechanism when setup for 9mm will jam on .380, acting as a sorting mechanism while you deprime or swage.

    Which also defeats the point of a 1050/1100.

    Just ordered the Shell Sorter Value Pack.
    Yeah, I’ve got the plates, but not the 380 plate. Might have to go on my wish list.

    As far as spawn of the devil, the toolbag who invented small primer 45 brass needs to be shot. That stuff is a pain to sort, until my eyes bleed. Make a standard, large or small and stick with it!

    If you aren't getting crimped primer brass that needs swaging, there is a small pocket detector that replaces the swage.

    Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.

    Been told there is SP 10mm brass now also but have not seen it myself.

    Honestly I haven’t reloaded in a while, but I still just ordered this: https://shootingsportsinnovations.co...powder-funnel/

    Mark7 Bullet Sensor. Pipe cleaners and the little plastic wheels to manage bullet wobble. An aftermarket shell plate ... maybe.

    I prefer to QC my 9mm brass manually with a .40 MTM case, then pre-process brass (size/deprime) while watchign Netflix and doing chores. When I eventually get around to loading I like to run about 2500 in an evening ... as smoothly as possible, and QC in a Hundo.

    Loading commercially? Just know that the bottom WILL eventually fall out of the current ammo prices.

    I love my Lee App.

Of the 2K casings, almost a 400 were small pistol primer, with another 300-400 crimped military primer pockets. The rest of the currently useable brass, deprimed and resized, is in the FART right now, getting the full monty bath with SS pins.

    It'd be easy to just say swage all the brass, and not have to sort it, but with about 20% of the brass on the ground being SPP, that's a problem...
