Ranges and brass processors
Turn mixed range brass into headstamp-sorted, primer-sorted lots without paying anyone to sit at a table.
Headstamp sorting systems
AccuSort Series
Mixed brass in. Sorted by headstamp, primer size, caliber and length out.
Hand-sorting brass is the job nobody wants. AccuSort reads the headstamp on every case with a machine-vision camera, classifies it against a library trained on your own brass, and kicks it into the right bin. Sort by brand, primer size, Berdan or Boxer, caliber, colour and, on the AccuSort 250, case length, at rates from 4,000 to more than 28,000 cases per hour depending on the model.

From a first machine to belt-fed production
A feeder drops cases one at a time onto a rail. The camera images the headstamp, the software matches it against the library, and an ejector kicks the case into its bin at the end of the rail. A headstamp the library has not seen pauses the machine for the operator, and the library improves as you sort: learning mode first, then automatic. Clean or dirty brass, primed or deprimed, 9mm to .308 length and up to half an inch in diameter. With a well-trained library accuracy reaches 99.9999 percent, one miss in a million; tightening the accuracy target sets more good cases aside for a second look, so you choose the balance.
Four models cover the range. The AccuSort 100 is the first machine for a small operation or a competition shooter, with full credit toward a later upgrade. The 200 is built for uptime: stepper servo, pneumatics and a rotary selector over a ring of bins. The 250 adds a side-view camera so it sorts by case length as well, which separates .300 Blackout from reformed 5.56 and screens trim length. The 300 is belt-fed for the highest throughput when calibers rarely change.
- Machine-vision headstamp recognition against a library trained on your own brass
- Sorts by brand, primer size (large or small), Berdan or Boxer, caliber and colour; the AccuSort 250 adds case length
- Learning mode to automatic mode: unknown headstamps pause for the operator and join the library
- Clean or dirty brass, primed or deprimed, 9mm to .308 length
- One-touch operation on the simplified interface; no internet connection needed to run
- Links to the AccuFeed collator for pause and refill handling
- Full credit for an AccuSort 100 toward a later upgrade
- Compact, high-performance and reliable; designed and assembled in the United States

AccuSort specifications
- Sort criteria
- Brand (headstamp); primer size, large or small, better than 98 percent; Berdan or Boxer; caliber within a 2:1 length range; steel and aluminum by colour. Case length on the AccuSort 250.
- Cases
- Clean or dirty, primed or deprimed; 9mm to .308 length, up to 0.5 inch diameter
- Accuracy
- Up to 99.9999 percent with a well-trained library, one miss in a million. Raising the accuracy target raises the share of good cases set aside for a second look.
- Throughput
- 4,000 to 28,800 cases per hour by model; peaks need dialing in and are rated per caliber
- Outputs
- AccuSort 100: three bins plus a hold. AccuSort 200 and 250: rotary selector over a ring of bins. AccuSort 300: three to six bins plus discard.
- Operation
- Unknown headstamps pause the machine for the operator and are added to the library; the feeder pauses on a jam or an empty hopper. Runs without an internet connection.
- Included
- Control computer with the software, mounting mast, power supply, drop tube, one caliber guide set (pistol, small rifle, large rifle) and instructions; support base from the AccuSort 200 up
Specifications describe standard configurations. Calibers, component sizes and throughput outside these ranges are quoted as custom builds.
Who runs it
Ammunition manufacturers and remanufacturers
Sort once-fired brass by headstamp, primer size and caliber before it reaches the processing line.
Competition shooters and reloaders
Keep match brass by headstamp and lot, and screen reformed cases by length.
Questions we get
Does it sort by headstamp?
That is what it does. A camera reads every headstamp and the software matches it against a library trained on your own brass, so the categories are yours: by brand, by lot, by primer size, by caliber. With a trained library it is right 99.9999 percent of the time, one miss in a million.
How clean does the brass need to be?
Dirty brass sorts, at somewhat lower accuracy. Mixed calibers sort in one run within a 2:1 length range (9mm and .380 together, for example); beyond that, pre-sort by size with a trommel or slotted basket first.
What about steel and aluminum cases?
They are caught by colour. Some plated cases look like brass to the camera, so a small share can pass as brass.
Which model do I need?
Start with the 100 if you are trying it out or sorting for yourself; it carries full credit toward an upgrade. The 200 is the production machine, the 250 adds length sorting, and the 300 is for the highest volumes when calibers rarely change.
Spec a AccuSort for your line
Calibers, components and volume per shift are enough to start. Standard configuration or a custom build.
