Separating brass

[divingin]

They Last quite well for me when I mark the case head, providing I don't use a solvent-soaked rag on the case head or tumble them.

It's actually a bit of a chore to get it off with a solvent, particularly in the stamping.

Acetone or MEK will take it off with a single wipe of a rag. As I recall, high concentration IPA works well too.

Odd aside: If you ever accidentally write on a whiteboard with a Sharpie and end up with non-erasable markings, simply go over the Sharpie marks with a Dry Erase pen, then wipe as normal. Removes about 95% of the Sharpie marks.

I usually try to avoid acetone, just because it smells really strong and evaporates so fast. But as you mentioned, it works very well.

Point taken.

Me neither, when I’m shooting brass over a chrono to sort by speed ( performance) I’ll mark the case heads in either blue for slow , green for mid and red for high. Later I’ll weigh those cases looking for any correlation, sometimes the heavier ones are the red ones. Etc. I may note that weight on the side in sharpie as perhaps there maybe additional information. Anywho’ If I keep odd ones separate when loading… what’s the harm ? Sometimes I find that pulling out a few unexplained make a hell of a difference.

Spot on!

Oh Boy that reminds me of when I worked for a large corporation and the lady I worked for was in the habit of partaking at work!
One day in front of a large audience when she was presenting a slide show she wrote on the slide screen!
