I shoot a .223 Wylde AR-15, so I have a lot of brass from shooting it.
I also shoot a 7TCU. I resize some of the .223 brass to make 7TCU brass for my Contender.
But I split the necks on some of the .223 brass while sizing them up in the 7TCU die. But did I throw them away?
Nope.
I cut the necks off and resized the (proper length) remainder to .300 AAC Blackout.
.223 Brass... for the person who just hates throwing out a piece of brass before it's absolutely, positively, completely useless.
Waste not.... Want not.
All the best,
Glenn

Have you ever tried fire-forming your .223 brass in the TCU chamber with the cream of wheat method?
I get no split necks from the process and you only burn a little bit of Unique and some breakfast mix!
Think twice...shoot once.

Good information, and I liked the video. I think if I do this, I want a more uniform process than what he was showing. Since he is just holding it in his hand and not really regulating where the brass sits / how far away it is from the flame, they are non-uniform. I want to build some sort of machine to do it one day. I've seen a few on YouTube I might try. This weekend is a good one to build something like that, as we have some horrible weather rolling in. Thanks!
All the best,
