[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1428325, member: 2736"] All good advice !!! Everyone has there way of keeping track of their brass and the goal of accurate number of firings. Like many, After case prep and weight/volume sorting I seperate my brass in 50 or 100 round batches in plastic containers with lids that seal. I mark the cartridge, the count, the weight (For future reference in case one volume shoots better than another) and insert a dry pack in with each of them for storage. Then I mark the number of firings on that batch as i go and never mix the batches. This allows me to anneal after a certain number of firings. If i see signs of failure on any one of these cases, I discard the whole batch rather than having a failure in the field when it is most inconvenient and possibly dangerous. There are 50 and 100 round case holders and I highly recommend their use with matching batch numbers and any other information on them. You should also have a good load book with "ALL" the information in it, and assign a load number to each load and cartridge and never use that number twice. There is no downside to keeping cases separate and good loading records, Just Time spent. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
