I have very slowly been working on getting a bunch of .223 brass prepped for quite a while now. I started with sizing and trimming. My "keep" box was not filling up as much as I would have liked because some of the brass was very short. The short brass is going in my plinking or cutting down for .300 Whisper brass.
Then I took my pile and swaged them.
Now I am up to the fun part, prime, powder, seat, light crimp and every pull of the handle drops out a finished round. At this point it makes me feel like I am actually getting something done. I think I have a little better then 1000 pieces of brass. I ran 25 rds (amount of primers on a strip) though a bit ago. Think I might get a couple hundred more done tonight.
