Find the .32ACP cases in the this box of .380ACP's.  ------------------------------------- Always the pall bearer, never the corpse. | ||

Go Vols! |
I see a 9mm. | |||

Yeah, there are a couple up front that look like 9mms as well as the one with the Winchester headstamp showing in the upper far right. OP, would using a few sheets of newspaper be cheating? You might spot the differences and segregate the cases a little more quickly just by standing them up next to each other. | |||

They always wind up stuck inside the .380s. | |||

That would be cheating there are 4-5 32's in plain sight! This is what is sad (not referring to you Il Cattivo), I have been reloading for 30 years now. I can walk around the range and tell what caliber cases are on the ground from 4' away. ------------------------------------- Always the pall bearer, never the corpse. | |||

Yep. 32 get stuck in 380 and 9mm get stuck in 40S&W. | |||

More common, and just as troublesome, is .380 cases mixed in with 9mm, as they are both the same caliber, difference in length only. When in doubt, mumble | |||

Iirc there is a slight difference in the rim diameter between 380/9. There's a metal plate accessory for the old 3 colors tub case separator that will pass one but not the other. | |||

Once you’ve been loading long enough, you can’t see the cases from four feet away.  Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

This ^^^ is soooo true. I see (3) 32 cases I think. | |||

I have been reloading for over 40 years and own guns in both calibers mentioned. However, I do not reload for either as I don't shoot them that much and have no desire to mess with them, | |||

I’ve been reloading so long that my eyes can no longer tell them apart! Seriously, my first Dillon Square Deal was $135. | |||

Not a test for me, but I did spot some .32 cases in the mix. I've been reloading since 1972 but don't do .380, .32, or 9mm. I reload bigger calibers: .357 Mag, .44 Mag, .45 Win Mag, .45 ACP, .45 Colt, and .50 AE. Don't waste my time on puny stuff. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

I've been reloading for several decades. I rarely see .32, and don't see that much .380. I can stare at a pile of brass and pick out all the brass of one caliber, then find I missed half of them, do it again, still find I missed a bunch, do it again, and still find more. Doesn't matter how many times I do it. Even with sorting sifters. Even obvious differences like .45 acp vs. 9mm. | |||

Man do I feel old. Dillon had not yet started up when I started handloading. Much of my Dads handloading stuff was Herters reloading dies and equipment. | |||

I was loading 270s on Dad's Herters C press in late 50s early 60s. Today I have 2 Dillon 550s, A Hornady LNL AP and a single LNL. Plus a RCBS single stashed somewhere around here. Have not ever used the LNL AP. Should get rid of it. SIGnature NRA Benefactor, CMP Pistol Distinguished, former Master NRA Bullseye Pistol and NRA Smallbore Prone | |||
