kneelingatlas Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Mixed brass, 9 major, never had a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcracco Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I think you'll find most people that shoot in volume (competition) use mixed range brass. For 9mm I start with once fired WCC. I pickup only my own brass at practice and match brass is lost. Competition ammo gets passed through case gauge. At practice the other day I went through a box that failed the case gauge and every one of them fit and fired. Still, I won't change the practice.

echotango Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I mix all my 9mm. I toss military. I also have a Dillon cg and a Double Alpha. The DA is a lot tighter than the Dillon. What does not fit in the DA then goes in the Dillon for double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropsitos Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Keep mine mixed as well. 9mm Minor, .40 near major, and .223. I do sort crimped pistol with a primer pocket gage and swage all the 223 and pocket gage it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mele Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Oh and I sort out all that SPP 45 acp for the junk bin......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phecksel Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 You might not want to mix the 9mm and 45 together, but that's just me I ran an experiment with mixed v new starline across the chronograph. The average was identical, mixed had a slightly higher std dev than the new starline, but not enough to even worry about. Accuracy was not checked, just velocity.

RiggerJJ Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Oh and I sort out all that SPP 45 acp for the junk bin......... Send it to me instead of chunking it, sometimes I run some small primer 45 for lost brass matches...can't tell the difference from large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMaus Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) The Dillon Case Gauge dose the same thing just one at a time is that right. it does NOT!!!!! my dillon .40S&W case gauge will let ANYTHING pass uncrimped, lots of flare = pass damaged brass with tons of cracks at neck = pass... insane glock bulge = pass... damaged brass at mouth = pass unsized brass shot in my svi = pass shockbottle will have em sticking out like crazy I have Dillon, ECW and DAA 9mm case gauges and the Dillon is the loosest. However everything that passes the Dillon fits my CZ Shadow barrel (which is the only case gauge that counts). Mixed for me too. PS I manually check each case before it goes in the tumbler so cracked and neck damaged cases get tossed early.

ano Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 for 9mm, my dillon gauge works quite good, its just the 40 thats bad. heck, for 45 its much tighter than all my 45s.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
