Why? Because I make superior ammo than you can buy. Most of the time cheaper too.

Two different colors, green and black.
Since its already been painted. Just get some Duracoat Parkerizing.
Looks the same, lasts way longer, and is water proof.
Now on the rifle itself.

The only exception I have to depriming and sizing at the same time, is 300BO case forming from 5.56 cases.
