Wildcat separation- case management

[Ogre6br]

Hi
I was working with some.222 and .223 brass and the verniers last night looking at how I shall make up my 20/222 or 20.223 based on a short run .204R reamer.

I mixed up the cases and made incorrect measurments of either case.

How do you guys with multiple factory and wildcat guns based on similar/same base cases manage your brass and keep it seperate.

I was shocked at how easy it was to get the cases confused and would hate to load the wrong case in the wrong rifle.

I'll admit I'm not the most organised guy in the world- thats half the reason I have differnt cartridges for different jobs-
233, 6BR, 6.5x55 and 338 federal.

But if I'm going to ever get a .20 cal it will be on a 222 or 223 or possibly but unlikely a 6BR case so I have the portential to confuse things- help me avoid this please

thanks
later

Ogr -

You cansegregate brass and loaded cartridges via use of
plastic cartdige boxes; like the excellent products from MTM.
These include an external label, if desired.

Also, cases can be had in a viariety of colors, Flambeau ), where you can segregate by color-code.

If you are wildcatting, you may also need to pay some attention to segregating of dies.

Ogre I have some of he same worries. That's why if I build a 20 it will probably be a Vartarg rather than a 20BR.

One thing I've seen people do is use a Sharpie marker to mark the case-heads of their brass. Red, green, blue and purple are avaiable.
