9mm Luger vs. non Luger for reloading
I have a bunch of fired. brass casings I want to sell. 9mm Luger and some non Luger mixed together. Is there any difference for reloading purposes? do these need to be separated into different batches luger and non luger? Thx.

9mm "Luger" is just a name for the 9x19 cartridge. There is no difference between a "9mm" cartridge (or brass case) marked with the "Luger" name or not. 0 -
Thank you! I'll sell them all bundled together. 0 -
You might check them to see if any are Berdan primed. Many of the European loaded 9mm's are. Because of the added problems with primer removal, and lack of available Berdan primers. Very few U.S. reloaders will buy Berdan primed brass for common calibers. 0 -
They do need to be one of the "names" for the same cartridge;
9mm Luger, 9mm Parabellum, 9X19 NATO. There are other "9mm"s out there like the 9mm Makarov, 9mm Kurz, 9mm Browning Long, etc that cannot be substituted for the 9mm Luger.0 -
The following are all just different names for the same cartridge, and you can mix brass for reloading:
9mm luger, 9x19mm, 9mm NATO, 9mm parabellum.
This is what most Americans just call "9mm" and its the most widely used centerfire handgun cartridge in the world, to the point where in some places its the ONLY one used!
The following are called "9mm" in some way or another, but are NOT the same thing. Some are common. . .some are fairly obscure:
9x17mm, 9mm kurz (aka corto, aka short), .380ACP.
9x18mm, 9mm makarov (this one actually fires somewhat fatter bullets).
9x23mm, 9mm largo
9x23mm Winchester
9x20mm, 9mm Browning long
9x21 IMI
etc
And here's a nifty pic showing most of the handgun rounds that accept 9mm bullets. Note that 9mm bullets are nearly identical in diameter to .357 bullets (used in many so called ".38" caliber rounds):
