Reloading....another reason 380 ACP is disliked

[acloco]

I clean 9mm, 38, 357, and 380 brass at the same time.

Obviously the 38/357 is easy to pick out.

I do not own a 380, but pick up the brass and always pass along to somebody that does.


BUT....when loading 9mm, finding 380 in the mix......SLOWS the process down!

I've been known to toss all of my brass forward, where the non reloaders push it, if I see too many 380s or .22s in my pile of 9mm.

I'm sitting on 5 x 5 gallon buckets of 9mm brass ... losing a few is just fine if prevents some jams.

they make a sorter plate to drop 380 out of a mix

Guys i enjoy every minute of shooting reloading and sorting brass. If a 380 gets mixed in amoung the nines and thats worst thing that happens to you, YOU ARE BLESSED. I had a working partner when I was a carpenter that got cancer and they only give him a 50/50 chance of surviving it. He said when I go to get chemo at the U of Miami there are 12 -15 people in the room and I am in better shape than anyone in the unit. .380s really?
