[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 1455582, member: 23"] The people who think it's not worth the trouble either have the funds to buy factory brass and leave it for us to pick up and reload and save money or they have their ammo bought for them and leave it lay, again saving us money. The primer pocket preparation is done only once. You never have to do it again. I keep my brass in separate marked buckets so I know whats been prepped and what hasn't. I load all my 5.56/.223 brass to .223 size and powder loads. I don't try to duplicate a military load and stay within the limits of the reloading manuals. I can shoot skeet thats lying on a berm at 100 yards consistently and thats good enough for me. I've never known the source of the brass I reload. Some of it was range pickup and some of it was bought off the internet. Some from other OSA members. I've had the usual rejects that come from normal reloading. Split cases, bent beyond repair, etc. Reloading is time consuming, relaxing and therapeutic. When I want to take my mind off anything or everything thats bugging me, I go to the gun/reloading room.
