I've got a ton of 9mm and 556 brass, and all the components to reload, just not much time/desire to prep brass. Have any of y'all used these guys?

Kinda brings the cost of loading up if you buy from them.. $35 for 500 pieces of processed 9mm brass… meh.
The math checks out for it to be a better buy if you just buy 500 rounds of factory loaded ammo I think… Let’s say for 500 rounds of 9mm using X-Treme 115gr Bullets. This wouldn’t include your shipping and hazmat costs though..
Brass: $35
Primers: $50
Bullets: $40
Powder: ???
Without factoring in cost of powder you’re already pretty much at what it costs to buy 500 rounds of 9mm ammo.

I just got a nice batch of 308 brass from brass monkeys on gunbroker. $100 per 500 all the same headstamp. It looks much better than the lot I got from top brass. Most of the lot from top brass wasn’t reamed properly and I had to be run it through a Dillion swager.
My limited experience buying processed brass so far has been a crap shoot.

To me and just my personal opinion and knows everyone is different but paying someone to do the work for you defeats 1 of the purposes of reloading, making cheaper ammo than what you can buy off the shelves.
Some people don't have the time.
I just dump my brass in my vibratory tumbler and leave it for several hours while I do other things…
That's one step. Swage, resize, trim, tumble again.
I have tried other peoples ready to load brass minus the primers.
Not one time ever did that brass out group my self prepped ready to load brass.
4 to 4.5 minutes per case for my prep job.
I do have time to reload and I have time to shoot but what I shoot from my barrels better be of the utmost accuracy or it is all wasted time and I might as well go back to 1980's where a 20 round box of store ammo would last a few years.
1 or 2 shots to sight in and 1 for the deer I will kill.
Prepping brass does suck but I really like the end result I get with my brass.
