Ol'Dad was asked to load 223 ammo for 2 of my sons and a nephew for their new ARs. I was helped by fellow forum members that gave and sold me brass[2300rds], 77grain bullets[2350rds]I had plenty of surplus powder bought several years ago at a gun show, and I had several thousand extra Winchester primers.
It is quite a chore depriming them with a Rockchucker press, and cutting the crimps out of the military brass, about 1000 rounds.
I've just started them in my new Thumblers Tumbler. I will ship all of this to my buddy that has a license to reload ammo. I ain't going to finish them with a single stage press.
Are they saving money? Don't really know. With all of the shipping, 46 plastic containers to put the ammo in I believe we will have 52cents ea. total in the ammo. All of the bullets were premium bullets and not bulk bullets.
Guys, thank you very much for the help.
