    If you don't mind paper cases Kranks do them by the 100 ready primed.

    They can be reloaded a few times until the crimp mouth goes soft. The thing to watch for with paper cases
    is small black burn marks like pinholes where the case meets the head.
    If you see them scrap the case as it is on the verge of separating.

    You could try clay shoots to find suitable cases,they usually have a problem disposing of them.
    I know one shoot that has two jumbo bags spilling over with fired cases.

    The easy option is to trim the star crimp off them and use a card and rolled turnover crimp. I load all my bp cartridges that way. The turnover tool fits in my pillar drill.

    My intention was to buy new primed cases then re-use them. The guy at FES who I intend to get the kit from said the Lee Load-All II is not very good when it comes to crimping new cases and I was better off with used cases.

    Go to a clay shooting ground and collect as many as you can carry for free.

    Sounds like a good plan
