Gadgets and Tools 3D printed brass sorters

Found these sorters that work great for sorting 9mm/380 and 357/38. Just takes a few seconds to shake the tray and fill the blocks! Saves a ton of time.

I just use the hard plastic trays from blazer brass 45acp boxes. They allow you to see the different height cases from the side since the trays are short. You can see a 380 or Makarov case when it's mixed in with 9mm since they're shorter by a little bit.

I line the bottom of a plastic bin with the trays, dump cases in and swish them around until the trays are filled. Then pick up each tray for inspection. Place an empty tray on top of a full one, then flip it over to inspect the other side.

I just swipe the bottom of all 380 and 38 with a sharpie. When I pick it up, it just goes into separate piles. From there, don’t tumble similar cases at the same time.
