You could mark the brass with one of those jigs using a Sharpie marker.

Stuff only lasts so long going through the tumbler.

Tattooing (electric pencil) will last almost forever.

I generally don't shoot Grendel and ARC within a month of each other--lazy man's solution.

Of course, you’d have to probably mark them every time you reload. Definitely a PITA, but it would work.

To make matters even more confusing--I also have a 6mm Predator by ARP--which is also based on the Grendel. Hornady strangely came out with the ARC right about the time the predator went bye-bye.

I have a 6.5 Grendel, 300 HAM'R, and 450 Bushmaster. If you're including vermin, Grendel is the ticket. The main thing about the 450 is hogs don't run off after a chest shot. Puts the STANK on 'em.
