Recently started cleaning all my .45 brass as I was out of out of clean brass for loading. Knowing I now have to seperate out large primer from small primer cases I've been pondering a way to do this in a fairly efficient and reliable way. Finally came up with something that works well for me.

I have a RCBS hand priming tool, I imagine the others have similiar designs and parts. It has 2 different size primer seating rods, one for small and the other for large. If I set out a bunch of deprimed brass on my bench, primer hole facing up and use just the large rod, not the enitre priming tool, to see what cases it fits into and which it doesn't, I have been able to sort them out relatively quick.

Just thought I'd share in case anybody else was in a similiar situation.
