It appears that 9mm and .223/5.56 are very close in size though.

I have that Dillon sorting tray system. It doesn’t separate .380, 9mm, 5.56, 300 Blk or anything else in that diameter range.
The sorting system for 9mm and 223 is probably a six pack and a comfy stool.
Just be glad it is not mixed with a bunch of forty, they get nested inside each other.

If you want to easily sort 9mm and .223/5.56 brass, it's simple. Get a pair of nitrile gloves. Now take the gloves, and put them on a child. Give the child a small amount of American currency, and point at the bucket.
On a serious note, I'll check later to see if my Shell Sorter 3-pack with the metal .380 plate sorts 9 from .223.
9mm and .40 getting mixed together inside a vibratory tumbler is extra annoying - they get nested inside each other, and the media gets trapped in between, making them both gritty and dirty to pull apart...Originally Posted by mmc45414
Yup, and I am to the point of having enough brass that if they don't just come loose I toss them both.
My understanding is that accessory is very expensive, both in acquisition costs, and maintenance costs.

There's a way around that - be an uncle/aunt. Then you can *borrow* a child.

100% on the same page with you there, and I was joking as well. Even if I actually wanted to subject nieces/nephews to the mindless tedium of sorting brass, I wouldn't do it simply for the lead exposure reason. I couldn't trust them not to put their hands in their mouths/on their faces/etc., even assuming I had kid-sized nitrile gloves on hand.
Teenagers who like to shoot and are able to comprehend the safety considerations might be another story, though. I'll take you to the range/a match *if* you help with ammo production, that sort of thing.
