SnapSorter – Sort Brass by Height

Manually separating 9mm from .380 ACP (and similar calibers) is time-consuming and frustrating. The SnapSorter automates the process, letting you sort brass quickly, accurately, and consistently.

This system can sort a bucket of brass in about one hour, making it easy to process 8 or more buckets per day with minimal supervision.

How It Works

The SnapSorter separates brass by case height, making it ideal for calibers with similar base diameters but different lengths.

✔ Works best when:

• Case height difference is at least 0.10 inches

• Base diameters are similar (example: 9mm / .380)

⚠️ Note: Calibers with significantly different base diameters (such as .30-30 and .308), or nested cases cannot be sorted together. Additionally, defective brass, such as extremely bent or malformed brass will not pass through the system, these have to be removed prior to sorting.

Common Calibers Sorted

Currently used to sort:

• 9mm / .380 ACP.  Four Height Arm Assemblies

• .38 Special / .357 Magnum.  One Height Arm Assemblies

• .40 S&W / 10mm Auto.  One Height Arm Assemblies

• .223 / 300 Blackout.  One Height Arm Assemblies. Extra arm can be used for 222 Remington

• .308 / 6.5 Creedmoor / .30-06.  Three Height Arm Assemblies

• 44 Special / 44 Magnum.  One Height Arm Assemblies
  
  
• 45 ACP / 45 GAP.  One Height Arm Assemblies. Extra arm can be used for 460s

Sorting heads are preset but fully adjustable by user. Height arms (flippers) are installed for each caliber sorted. A spare complete Height Arm Assembly is included should you want to add a caliber that is not preset by us.

Sorting Speed (Approximate)

• 9mm & small pistol brass: 4,500–5,000 cases/hour (5 gallon bucket)

• .38 & .40 calibers: ~4,000 cases/hour (5 gallon bucket)

• Rifle brass: Slower (3,000 - 3,500 cases/hour)

⚠️ For pistol calibers, the limiting factor is often the brass collator speed, not the SnapSorter.

A large 16" high-speed collator is currently in development holds 800+ 9m cases at  6,500+ per hour
