Do you segregate your fired brass by maker?

I used to, but then there was the Brass Rights movement and a couple of large calibers burned their bras and then some PMC and WIN headstamps wanted to be loaded together and so I finally just decided to let all of the cartridges intermingle as they desired.

I tried that in hopes that it would turn out like putting guns in the safe, then later on finding they had multiplied. I guess all my brass was "fixed" before I got it. It is the responsible thing to do ya know....;)
 
I sort rifle and pistol brass...but I sort other things.....I`ve always liked sorting my change, nuts and bolts, what ever...If it needs sorting, I`ll do it.

I laughed so hard I almost peed my paints.
 
I can report my findings:
I load 20 test rounds. Just for giggles, I sort them by head stamp (all were loaded exactly the same, since the sorting was after loading).
I tried very hard not to look at the cases or the label so I had no idea if I was shooting mixed or matched head stamps. In .38 Spl, .357 Mag, .45 Auto, 9x19, .38 Super, and .40 S&W, there has been NO difference in accuracy.
In fact, if you go just by the average accuracy, the mixed head stamps have been more accurate; however, a "student t-test" shows no statistical difference at 95%.
Since it isn't a safety issue, do what you want.
 
Remington, Winchester, Federal, and +P

I separate the big three (Rem, Win, Fed) because the bullet pull for .38 Special, for example, feels different from one-another. I leave most of the others mixed and use them for plinkers and odds-'n-ends. I keep the +P brass separated too.
