Maybe I'm just too cheap.... er... I mean frugal... yeah, frugal.... to buy all sorts of additional gadgets.
Here's my sorting method:
I place a double handful of cases (mixed range brass), on a sheet of newspaper on the top of my reloading bench. I surround myself with small flat rate boxes (free from the post office), each with a different marking on a flap facing me. .40 S&W, 9MM, 45 ACP, etc, etc, etc.
I start the sort by pulling the largest ones of the same thing out of the flat pile. Like .308's. Then, I move to the next biggest, maybe 5.56 cases.... It's easy to concentrate on one size at a time. I keep going until I have only the smallest on the bench. Those are usually the .380's.
I reload with a new double handful pile. I can sort a five gallon bucket in about 1.5 hours. No biggie.
I use the "Modified Duke Method". All the same as above, except my two boys are the ones doing the sorting. I've found my hands stay much cleaner this way.

How do these sorters fare with the "nesting doll" situation? 9mm inside .40 S&W inside .45 Auto...
