    Clean, resize, and trim service?

    How many would be interested in this type of service? 223, 6.8 SPC and 308 calibers for now.

    Trimming would be done via a Giraud system.

    1000 rounds for $28.00 (shipping would be the customer's responsibilities) 7 Days turnaround.

      Way to cheap. Figure what your time and wear & tear on your equipment is worth. They would need to be cleaned & sized before they would be trimmed.

        I can resize / deprime maybe 1000 rounds in an hour. Figure in that much time for trimming (yeah right). I think my time's worth more than $12 / hour. Or at least it is to me.

        Once you figure in time into reloading costs, reloading isn't as cost effective as you initially calculated.

            But more often than not, people have more time than money. I guess it beats sittin' around watching tv.

              I hope this is Thmpr's stance....

              I frickin hate tumbling and sizing. That shiet makes a mess!! As much as it's a labor of love, it's a big dirty hassle. I can understand why he's offering this service.

                  Well, for what it's worth i'm only lookin to have .223 and .308 done. Charging, priming, and seating is the clean and easy part. I love doing that It's the most satisfying part b/c i get the final product. Shooting it is even better but that only happens a couple times a year.

                      Good idea!

                      I`m reloading for 5 people now,while they are willing to buy the components and such,try to get them to come over and and size or trim.On loading day they are all ready to help!Trying to get them to buy brass already processed.I think you are right,there are people who have more money than time.

                        If it included removing the crimps on XM193 I might be interested.

                          There's a guy on arfcom that processes 223 brass for about $20 per 1000.
                          Cleaned, Sized, trimmed, decapped & primer pockets swaged.

                            That's mee!! I have the components but I have the sizing and trimming involved for the 223 cases. In the limited tidbits of time I have I can prime, charge and seat much more than I can if Ihave to size and trim.

                            The thing about the 223 is that every case has to be trimmed do to firing in 5.56 chambers.

                            I'm interested in 223, 308 and 9mm in 1000rd batches. Do the prices include swaging or reaming the primer cup?

                              Are you going to hire a few Processor guys out of the Home Depot parking lot? Set them up in the garage with mountains of brass.
