Normally, folks that offer this service only do large quantities of brass. When I had my 45 brass done several years ago I had all 15000 pieces done at one time...two 5 gallon buckets worth. Cost me about $60 but considering it all feeds through my Dillon 1050 like new and chambers perfectly, it was money well spent.

Most of my brass has been loaded many times. How many? Can't tell you. I just check them after cleaning and process them as needed. I can tell when/if a case splits when resizing it.

Interesting, the bulk "reforming" of used brass. Did you find a place locally? Or did you need to send it out? The price of shipping that much brass could add substantially, to the overall cost.

Thanks.
