Segregating brass

I got a quick question for you all. I have a match coming up and I do not want to take all my loading stuff, so I though I would pre load. My question is I do not have enough brass to do it, unless I use brass I have culled out. I figured I could use the culled out brass for sighters. I thought about marking the case head with a paint marker, is there a reason I should not do this? Is there a better way to mark brass?

I have to do that occasionally. I just count the number of cull brass I have and load them into my case box first. I always go top to bottom left to right when I do this though so it doesnt get mixed up. Only downside I see is point of impact can be different not knowing how different the brass is from your match ammo. I havent had any real problems to speak of but try not to do it very often.

Colored Sharpies work great. I actually write the case wgt on the outside of the case.
