Just got this: Brass Processing Service

I'm not sure what they do. The website just says tumbling. If that's all it's not worth it. Does it include de-caping, primer crimp removal, resizing, trimming? Who knows.
 
According to what I read they do deprime, full length size, swage primer pockets, trim to 1.750, check for neck tension, and final tumble and clean flashing holes. For how ever many you can fit into the medium or large flat rate box and even 5gal bucket. Plus you have to pay for the shipping to and from.

It includes all of that. Read the description portion...

If I have a very large ammount, it may be ok. A large flat rate full of 223 brass coming back to me sounds like an ok deal. Not a huge cost savings or anything, but convenient.
 
There is nothing there that I can't do for myself. A retired guy has time for brass processing, although I wish I could con my wife into doing the trimming.
 
He will do all that on 2500 pieces of military brass for 75.00! That is a smokin deal,it is only .03 cents per piece,I dont know how he makes money.That is only 25.00 total shipping which equals .04 cents each.I have a large flat rate sitting in the basement right now that I am dredding doing the prep.I cant believe he does it so cheap.
 
If you are a reloader WHY would you send out your components to be prepped by someone? At that point you have lost all control of your reloading. Not only that, how do you know it is done right? Not my cup of tea, if you have a large quantity of brass to be prepped do it in smaller batches until it gets done. there are so many things I can add to this comment about reloading. You commented that the guy checks neck tension??!! who cares!!! he is not prepping for your particular gun so that is a waste of time and will do nothing to add to the accuracy of your gun, there are several more steps to do to get a consistently accurate bullet for a your gun. If you are reloading just so you can go to the range and rattle off rounds like there is no tomorrow, Go for it. No thanks!
 
I think for a busy working person that doesn't want to waste his time on brass prep and he was able to make more money working per hour than he would spend on the prep time, but just wanted to charge and seat bullets, it might be a decent deal..Especially for someone just starting out that hasn't purchased all the mechanical items needed for it...

While it would increase the cost per round if reloaded ammo, it still would provide a lower cost than buying factory rounds...If I owned or ran a shooting range, it would be a really good deal for bulk processing of pick up brass to be used for 'on site' reloading activities...
