Hey Reloaders,
What do you guys do to keep track of the number of times you have loaded your bulk handgun ammo, the ones you shoot regularly. It's a lot easier to keep track of your Rifle rounds.
How does this sound, a new set of shell holders that would put a "just big enough to be seen" dimple in the upper angle side of the extraction groove. That's still a thicker part of the casing, doesn't interact with the weapon, or it's workings, and then you could while sorting keep count of haw many times it's been loaded.
you would obviously do it during the same step every time to prevent multiple markings, but since they tend to get intermixed with older / newer brass during the stages of prep, you would not have to work so hard keeping up with it. Then also if you find a certain head stamp has a particular lifespan, you could weed them out as you go also.
Or do you even worry with it, and just inspect them while prepping them?
