When I shoot at matches, or on the rare occasions I travel the long distance to an outdoor range for practice, I don't pick up any brass. There are lots of "9 major" shooters at the matches, and those two outdoor ranges. I don't want to risk getting any of their brass, as the experienced loaders warn that the 9 major brass can cause problems.
I wish there was a quick way to sort 5.56mm and 9mm. The guy who gives me brass often is bring buckets of mixed brass, and the trays won't sort those two.
I have now oaded just shy of 3000 rounds, and twice I missed .380 cases, and they made it all the way through the press, but the case gauge revealed those two rounds.
