So he might have meant he had a 50 gal drum full of brass?
I'd spend the money on the Dillon even if it were only 1,000 rounds.
Trying to hold .223 into spinning cutters is no fun on anything I'd consider bulk and my fingers and hands agree.
This makes a lot of sense.
I've used the RCBS swager, but it sucks, and I still had to shave some brass. I've also done several hundred cases at a time using the hornady cutter and a drill, and using chamfering tools. It gets tiring on the hands and the fingers, and only makes my arthritis flare badly.
I'll be investing in a Dillon one of these days, as I have several thousand Lake City and Federal crimped 223 brass to prep, eventually.
