[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2415867, member: 116181"] Buy a Dillon with a casefeeder. It'll size and trim to a max length, and since swaging is a one time deal, buy their bench mount swager and suck it up one time. Or run a Swage It and risk the press frame. Fast, cheap, and easy - pick two. Fast and easy costs money. Dillon is the solution in that case. It's pretty slick, you run a small base die with decapper up front, a Swage It, then the trimmer and the brass pops out ready to run through a loading cycle. You can get a carbide mandrel to roll out the trim and maybe even get away with not chamfer/deburring if this really is blaster bulk brass. Their top end 1100 can be automated, but that's $$$$$. A 750 you can probably get everything you need to process brass and then reload it for $3k, maybe you could skip the loading kit and save some money if you don't want to load. Or buy a used 650 or 1050. If I was looking at sizing 30k+ 223s, you betcha I'd be running a progressive and automating that. I'd also have a concrete mixer to tumble them a thousand+ at a time. Bulk work you need big tools to do it. [/QUOTE]
