I've got at least a 1000 range pickup cases. A few cases have had neck splits, but generally it's perfectly good for plinking ammo. Small rifle primer, 25 gr of H-335 and a 55 gr varmint nightmare and I'm good to go.
The only PITA is dealing with the military crimp.
I leave the military crap lay..
I"ve won every match I ever won with military crap brass. FWIW
On another note, the 184 left for powder... it takes less than 2 pounds to load 500 rounds...
The time vs money thing everyone has to answer for their own.
