Greetings, I am fairly new to the wonderful world of wildcatting - curious if any has a good method for marking their wildcats for easy identification to prevent accidental mix-ups? For example, using a sharpie to mark the head-stamp or bullet tip? Would love to hear any ideas, whether good or bad (lessons learned).

When I go after PD's I routinely take a 17-223, a 20 Practical, a 223 and occasionally a 6X45. Each box is color coded on the label and each cartridge has a colored stripe around the body. Another thing you can do is to used nickel plated brass on one if it is available like in my 223 based rounds. The good thing is sending a bullet too small for the bore down range doesn't hurt anything except blow the neck out and you now have a case for the bigger one. I have several if the 6.8 and 6.5 variants that go from 20 to 264. I don't take them out together much but even I can tell the 20 from the 24's. The 22 could be tough to tell. I wouldn't even consider going out without my Sharpie treatment on those. Greg
