Question for you. My son is an active duty Air Force master sergeant. Every quarter we bring up airmen from his wing to learn reloading and then shoot at our range. It's been great for team building and a lot of fun as I get to meet a lot of our active duty men & women. We have been mostly reloading various larger calibers from 308 to 338. I have never reloaded 223 but thought it might be another fun project. Would you suggest using this brass for these men & women to reload? Besides picking up a couple more dies, do I need anything else for this brass? I remember reading somewhere about military crimp.

Yes military brass it a pain
There is a primer pocket swadge tool from
RCBS tha does a pretty decent job also a swipe with the debur tool helps also
I did a batch of 1000 lack city years ago and have since decided it wasn’t worth the effort and use mostly commercial brass
But the mail brass is good stuff and will tend to get more loading

Batch 1 all you would need to do is size and load em.
Batch 2 you MAY have to swage the primer pockets as described above.

Message me your address and I'll send it all to you no cost. If its helping out our military guys, happy to help.

That would be amazing! I know they would have fun and I can't express how great it is to see them together. I was Navy. He's in Colorado Springs. We're now trying to bring up some Fort Carson soldiers since my neighbor was 35 years Army. I don't hold that against him though. Everyone had to start somewhere!
