That! Removing crimp and trimming isn’t a big deal. I use the Wilson tool in a battery powered drill to remove the crimp, use RCBS hand trimmer with power adapter and same drill to trim brass. I wouldn’t cost that much to get set up.

You don’t have to do 500 or a 1000 in the same day. I deprime them over several days, remove crimps, trim as I have time. I then clean them over several days too.

I’d trim 223 brass even for a bolt gun, you might end up using it in an AR. I loaded 500 pieces of once fired Speer brass for an AR, half wouldn’t chamber, had to shoot them up in a bolt gun.
