True. And although that phase of reloading (final case inspection, checking length, trimming when required, crimp removal, etc.) is what I like the least, I've been able to acquire a couple thousand .223/5.56 cases free via scrounging. Using the Lyman case prep multi-tool removing the primer crimp is not a big deal IMHO and a price I'm more than willing to pay given expanded scrounging opportunities.
