Yeah, Plate I ran some .45 LC today and had a .50 and a .32 mag get mixed into the batch. Only a couple is no big deal. I also went and reorganized my case organization system. No more coffee cans and ziploc bags.

I think we have all been there, looking at 2 piles of brass right now, one 9mm the other 40, yup, running them in 2 batches...
yep i did that too, 9mm and 40. i drained all the media out and ran them in the tumbler for a while, most of them came apart, the ones that didn't went in the scrap bin.
It doesn't matter how many people tell you, once you do it yourself it's one of those life lesson's!
We aren't laughing at you, we are laughing with you (even though you may not be laughing)...
apparently it is a very common "ONE ONLY FIRST TIMER" mistake
lol maybe the manual should say this lol
Someone sells little net bags for doing cases that could get stuck together. I am going to save the bag off of some little cutie oranges and try to use that to keep 357 and 45 apart. I figure if it works I am money ahead. The bags off cheese the bonamy might work to. Just a cheep guys idea. that why I spend hundreds on reloading stuff to save money.
I'm not sure what kind of sack may reduce case sticking without reducing effectiveness. Right now, I am planning on just waiting until I have a large enough batch of one caliber or only matching stuff that isn't a big deal. The .357/ .45 ACP isn't too hard to pull apart but I make a lot of empty .45 ACP so they will run by themselves.
