I have a friend who swages them into bullet jackets. They are pretty accurate, too. I realize not a lot of people do that but they can be re-used to answer your question.
Banning legal handguns is nothing more than a victory for symbolism over substance, for activity over achievement.

I read an interesting article on it a few years back.
You swage the used brass into a .223 bullet, and fill it with lead.
Assuming you do not put a price on your time, you have essentially free .223 bullets.
You know you are a real gunnut when you start practicing trigger control on power tools.

"Free", other than the cost of the lead and the cost of the swaging dies and press, both of which are not even close to being cheap.You swage the used brass into a .223 bullet, and fill it with lead.

But other than all those significant costs, then yes, nearly "free".

You are going to the wrong tire shops if you are paying alot for Lead. You are going to tire shops... right?"Free", other than the cost of the lead and the cost of the swaging dies and press, both of which are not even close to being cheap.

The cost of the swaging dies is insignificant when you consider the break-even costs, and anybody who would be considering reusing .22lr brass for .223 bullets is almost certainly a reloader with at least one or two presses.
And I call your

I looked into it a while back and a set of swaging dies are several hundreds of dollars. Don't remember the exact cost but $600 sticks in my mind.The cost of the swaging dies is insignificant when you consider the break-even costs, and anybody who would be considering reusing .22lr brass for .223 bullets is almost certainly a reloader with at least one or two presses.
Swaging requires a much heavier press than 99% of reloaders have on their bench. And a swaging press is a lot more expensive than a Rockchucker.
You can't use wheel weight for swaging. Swaging requires pure lead wire which is cut ito chunks that fit into the jacket. How you gonna get wheel weight into those little jackets?
Also if you don't spend a bunch of time weighing the bits of lead that go into the jackets, all your bullets will very greatly in weight and thus be worthless.
If you actually look into it you will discover that a swaging setup costs quite a lot of money, and is a lot more difficult than just whacking a few bits together and pulling the arm on a press which is why few people do it.
I'd respect youra lot more if you actually had done the research or knew what you were talking about.
