AverageJoeShooting Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 i wish there was some kind of chemical bath that would dye the actual brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timido Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I mark all of my Brass Red with a sharpie. I put them in a hundo case gauge. Run my fingers over the primers to check them and then run a fat trip sharpie across them all and flip them into a case. I have other colors for other loads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balakay Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Marking across the primer is great if your brass lands vertically. It will allow you to distinguish your 38sc from your friend's brass. However, if you want an easier time finding your brass among the sea of 9mm, you need a circumferential mark around the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Dump a couple hundred cleaned cases into a plastic shoebox. Give it a good squirt of Dykem Red spray Put the lid on and shake. Wait 10 minutes. Load. Leaves red crap on the gun and press, but it's way easier than any other marking method that isn't "don't" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mark mine across the primer for different loads and to know that it is mine if I pick it up. I shoot 9 so I am not so worried if I get it back or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMaster, Grainger, Fastenal, MSC... the usual machine-shop-supply places. IIRC the last cans I got were from a local place since the spray has to ship like spray paint. The spray works better than the liquid, although you can make that work, it doesn't spread as well and takes a few coats of the shoebox before it sticks to the brass.

shred Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 That works too, but don't get the blue. Red is the only good color they have for marking brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abb1 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I shoot 9mm major. No need to mark it, I just leave it at matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
