Cutting down 5.56 for 300blackout. (Redneck edition)

I have been prepping .223 cases today and keeping them .223 and that is a chore.

I tried one of those chop saws at Harbor Freight, became to time consuming. I bought a 300BO early on before brass was easily obtained. Had a few friends who also had the same problems obtaining brass so I started making brass for them also for a little cash or bartering. I enjoyed doing it but the cutting one at a time wasn't working.

Thinking out loud it would be fairly easy to line up a bunch of cases straight and then do a resin pour to make a perfect mold for them too.

Hadn't thought of that but good idea. I cut them a little long to allow extra in case they were not aligned perfectly straight. Then purchased a motorized trimmer to make quick work of that chore.
May have to research into making a mold later. Right now I have plenty of brass made. My friends started buying actual 300BO brass when the market caught up with demand.
