If you had a choice called "maybe" that's what I would pick.
For the 9mm, I usually sort by headstamp unless I know it's close range blasting ammo. (1 to 15 yds)
For close range blasting, it don't matter.
If I'm going to do a shooting match with the possibility of winning prizes, then I definitely sort brass.
Then i drop each round into a chamber gauge to insure successful chambering.
As previously noted, that funky anomaly with the shifting point of jmpact is enough to miss an A zone shot at 25 yds.
For the 45acp, it's a little different. I almost never sort 45 brass unless entering a prize match.
The 45acp is quite forgiving for most practice loads out to 25 yds.
For 223, I try to sort as much as possible.
Anything bigger, I definitely sort.
