well this is plinking stuff so mixed really doesnt bug me so long as they are proper length and healthy cases
With all due respect, I've never understood the term plinking. Every time I fire a weapon, unless it's to test a mag feeding or something, I'm aiming at something. If I've used mixed brass, I have a buttload of different speeds and pressures and points of impact. If I'm going to the expense of buying reloading components, and the work to clean brass and reload, I want consistent ammo. Again, considering that brass can be reloaded several times, good brass is the cheap part.
what he said anyways i should been more specific with this post and said something along the line of looking for strictly online sources because this is a gift idea on the xmas list which because im so hard to buy for i have to start so earlyThis is not a universal result for everyone. I loaded two batches of ammo a couple years ago to see if "mixed brass" really made that much difference in my 9mm. One batch was all "WIN" headstamp (Winchester) and the other batch was random, including CCI, Speer, R-P, and FC, headstamps. All had the same powder charge and bullet type/weight. There was no discernible difference from my CZ75 SP-01 at "Combat Distances" of 7' to 50'. Even groups at 25 yards were more than acceptable. Perhaps not for someone shooting a custom pistol with a scope, expecting less than one inch groups at 25 yards but with open "Iron" sights, more than acceptable.
For someone shooting a 3.5" - 5" barreled 9mm semi-automatic with factory sights there are so many other variables that affect one's "group size" sorting the cases isn't going to make all that much difference.
