preped brass

[G+16]

given the time it take to prep rifle brass, is it worth the extra 50-60 dollors per 1000? I work 8-10 hrs daily sometimes 7 days and drive a hour both ways, the brass would be 223,308 & 7.62x39, it seems like it might be worth the extra coin. any input?

thanks

Well ..its not just time

To do large amounts you need a pretty good trimmer...that is not a cheap tool.

Beware of some prepped brass...it may not be consistant

using pre prepped brass takes a BUNCH of time and effort out of the job.

Just find the good stuff

so jim as long as I take mesurments from new brass and they match the prep-brass, neck to shoulder, neck to rim they will meet sammi standards right

The prepped brass I have used in the past ...did not exactly fit a headspace gauge...little long

The shoulders had to be bumped back a couple thou...this is a good thing, as you can set it perfect

The only real issue to pre prepped I see is the trim...it has to be real consistant to make good match ammo.

Small variations can still make good safe ammo
