I'll let you know how it works when it gets here next week. I wanted the aluminum one with the detent that you push them through but it's almost $40. I'll make one at some point, I can't help myself. I made a .223 chamber reamer from scratch, just to say I did and to learn a few things. Not a work of art but it cuts well and the rifle runs as normal.
You need to keep making brass because you never come back with as many as you left with. That makes my heart cry when I use my 6mmPDK wildcat (6.8spc case necked down and blown out) for highpower competition and the cases go flying into the long grass during the rapids, never to be seen again. I put significant work into each one of those and it took a while to make up 300 pieces. That reminds me that I need to find my brass catcher for next load testing session.

I feel your pain, those of us that reload and shoot matches. We never come home with all the brass. At one range where I am a guest Instructor the owners boys and his buddies have created quite the side hustle off the students. They negotiate a deal with the students to pick up the brass as the range has a steadfast rule thou shalt pick up thine brass. Now picture a class comprised of say a dozen middle age folks, most not in pristine weight class. That just dumped 6-800 rounds on the ground on a hot Summers day. The class is over, they are whipped physically and mentally. I explain after a breather we need to go pick up all our brass. In swoops a couple young enterprising youths who explain for a fee they will do it. Looks like a strip club in there as them guys are all fishing twenties out of their pockets and tossing it to the youths armed with nothing but ambition and a bucket! Merica!
