Here's something I have found useful in helping keep my "special" brass separate from the rest of the population.
I use an oil based paint pen and fill in the head stamping on brass I need to keep track of. It must be oil based paint or brass cleaning will remove it easily. When the paint is ALMOST DRY, just buff it on paper towels, flat on the bench. The head stamp stays filled in and the rest of the paint buffs off. There are a lot of colors available in these pens at Home Depot.
The picture is not great but you can see the 44 Magnum brass head stamp is now BLACK. These cases are trimmed to 1.255" to accommodate the Hornady FTX bullets. Standard trim length is 1.275" and the majority of my 44 Magnum brass is trimmed to that length.
The 45 Colt brass is for BLANKS and has an oversized flash hole at 0.140". I use these for X-ring Rubber Bullets and sure don't want these babies mixed in with my regular 45 Colt Brass. I used red paint to fill in the word "BLANK" on the head stamp.
This is not a fail-safe method but really helps if this brass gets mixed in with regular brass.

My daughter came from Missouri, my son and grand son, my wife and I had a nice dinner of grilled "porter house" pork chops, corn on the cobb, my son, G'son and I share 10/5. G'son is 4 minutes early though @ 10/4.
Pooh I hope you find to right house .
