Shell Sorter Shell Sorter 3 Pack

If you reload ammunition, you know that sorting brass by caliber is one of the most tedious parts of the process—but it doesn't have to eat up your whole day. The Shell Sorter 3 Pack is a simple, stackable brass-sorting solution that sits on top of a standard 5-gallon bucket and lets you separate mixed brass quickly with just a few shakes. Three color-coded trays handle the most common handgun and rifle calibers, while smaller rounds and media fall through into the bucket below.

The genius of the Shell Sorter is its simplicity. No motors, no complicated mechanics, no learning curve—just toss in your tumbled brass and let gravity do the work. The Yellow Tray catches larger pistol and rifle rounds (.45 ACP, .45 GAP, .44 Mag, .50 AE, .243, .308, 7.62x39mm, and .45 Colt), the Blue Tray handles mid-sized cartridges (.40 S&W, 10mm, .357 Mag, and .38 Special), and the Black Tray separates 9mm, .380 ACP, .38 Super, and .223 Remington. Anything smaller—like .22 LR and spent tumbling media—drops straight into the bucket for cleanup.

Whether you're a high-volume reloader working through cases from range trips or you just want to reclaim more time at the bench, the Shell Sorter cuts sorting time dramatically. It's a no-fuss addition to any reloading setup, fits any standard bucket, and pays for itself the first time it saves you an hour of hand-sorting. Stack all three trays together or use them individually, depending on your workflow and the calibers you're processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers does the Shell Sorter handle?

The Yellow Tray sorts .45 ACP, .45 GAP, .44 Mag, .50 AE, .243, .308, 7.62x39mm, and .45 Colt. The Blue Tray handles .40 S&W, 10mm, .357 Mag, and .38 Special. The Black Tray separates 9mm, .380 ACP, .38 Super, and .223 Remington. Smaller cartridges like .22 LR and tumbling media fall through into the bucket.

Do I need a special bucket to use the Shell Sorter?

No—the Shell Sorter sits on top of any standard 5-gallon bucket. The three trays stack and nest onto the bucket rim, so you don't need any additional equipment or modifications.

Can I use just one or two trays, or do I have to use all three?

Yes, you can use the trays individually or in any combination. Stack them all together for full sorting capacity, or use only the trays you need based on the calibers you're reloading.

How does the brass actually get sorted?

Simply place mixed brass in the top tray and shake gently. The trays have different-sized openings that let each caliber fall through to the appropriate level. Cartridges smaller than the bottom tray drop into the bucket below. It's a mechanical, gravity-fed system with no moving parts to break or wear out.
