In years past when I've needed/wanted brass I got on gunbroker and would get 1000 pieces of polished once fired brass in 223 for around $80 - $100 shipped to my door. Everything is relative to scarcity in 2020 and I've stopped using my factory ammo for training and I'm trying to load up all the leftovers I've collected over almost 20 years of trying different bullets for different guns for different purposes. I've always stayed away from swaging the LC military brass just because I saw it as an extra cost in equipment, and a time taking step that wasn't needed with other options in abundant supply. 2020 has all kindsd of buying pressure and in my quest to use up my reloading supplies to cycle them out I've found I didn't have as much brass laying around as I thought I did. Looking for my once bountiful supply of brass is pretty much dried up, so it's got me looking at the military surplus brass and I have no doubt that lake city brass is awesome and can be cleaned up nice. I just don't know if I want to go through the effort of buying equipment, and using it on a lot of two of military brass to get me by knowing full well that when this round of panic buying is over and I'm back to buying cheap factory ammo at good old day prices that there's no way I'm going to spend my time doing this anymore.
That's what leads me to the question, what makes a swager worth it for you to do it? If there was a quick & dirty way to do it, I'd probably be in, but otherwise even as bad as prices are today I'll pass on it. Talk into or out of it.
Thanks
