223 vs 5.56 brass difference

[9mm guy]

I don't own a rifle that fires these calibers but I know the general difference between the two. I happen to commonly collect tons of these brass from the range. And so for all you rifle owners who reloads these calibers, would you want a brass seller like me to separate the 223 vs 5.56 to sell them separately? Or does it not matter? If so, would you also prefer that the 5.56 be separated from the 5.56 NATO to buy each type separately or does that not matter? Thanks in advance for all your answers.

Boy this is a hot button topic

let's just say when it comes to reloading the brass, I have not seen a difference in groups with mixed brass.

The phrase above says loads that are the same in mixed headstand brass are not different.

Once brass makes it home it's deprimed, sized, cleaned and trimmed only to be tossed in a bin with various other head stamp varieties.

I load em the same because they shoot the same.

(some like me don't care if it's separate, some are sticklers...)

Might be easier on some folks to sell to if you separate.

Some folks may not be setup to deal with a crimped primer pocket.

Less likely (extremely unlike?), .223 would be crimped.

It'll sell easier separated imho.
