Segregating brass

I got a quick question for you all. I have a match coming up and I do not want to take all my loading stuff, so I though I would pre load. My question is I do not have enough brass to do it, unless I use brass I have culled out. I figured I could use the culled out brass for sighters. I thought about marking the case head with a paint marker, is there a reason I should not do this? Is there a better way to mark brass?
 
Never use a cartridge for a sighter that you don't think would go in the same hole as the others. If you did, what good would it do you? You have to be able to trust your sighters.

Load at the range. Sorry.

A sharpie won't hurt anything but it really is the wrong question.
 
The first two shots out of a clean barrel I give no credibility to (although I could). Culled brass is fine for that purpose. After that your sighters should be as good as your record brass.

Thanks for the advise guys, I would have to agree that the sighters should be as good as the rest. I guess I need to explain more, I am shooting a IBS 600 yard match, and right now my scope is zeroed at 300 yards, so I need a few to see where I am at, and a few to foul the barrel. Last time I shot this match I was the only person that was loading, and felt a bit out of place. ( for some stupid reason) So I thought maybe I could lever the stuff at home. Do you guys think I could get by with culled brass to get me on target and foul the barrel ?
 
load there.......

Absolutly..... >>> Don't worry about what others think<<<.... If there is time to load at the range between relays/matches...Do it... Even for long range shoot'n... Use your limited quality brass for WHAT counts... Reload it:)

Good luck there 82,

Don't forget the vertical

Remember that if you go out of tune by preloading, you will have to pull bullets and load at the range. I agree with others about zeroing in and using foulers, but when a load goes out of tune there can be a 1/2" of vertical at 100 yards. I would hate having close to 3" of vertical at 600 yards. Make sure you have a load that shooting in a very wide window.
