[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 3070294, member: 1039"] I reload .223, 6.8SPC, .300BLK, and 8.6BLK. I have quite a bit of .223 range brass. I deprime it, clean it, then I anneal the cases, all in batches. It'll sit in a bucket for a while then I get an itch to load "quite a few" and that happens on my Dillon XL650. The other calibers are usually loaded on the Forster CO-Ax. 50-100 at a time. If I'm loading 6.8 for my son-in-law I reload those on my Dillon XL650. He's not as picky as I am. Side note: I did a quick "cost to reload 6.8 SPC" the other day. I did it to point out the cost of brass. Using good brass a loaded round cost is about the same as box ammo. Brass is over 1/2 of the cost. The better brass is running $1.00 a round. It can be had for cheaper than that but keeping with the dollar a round cost, the first reload is what it is but every time I can reload a case (which is why I anneal, besides that the Amp is quick and easy). It's $1.00 each round or at least the cost of the brass cheaper than box ammo. Two reloads after the initial load, 2x savings, etc, etc. I used the info to make the point to my son-in-law that he needs to save the d***ed brass. [/QUOTE]
