This is interesting, more for .30 and up.  But something that could keep a few tools in service. 

We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.

As long as you stockpiled regular jacketed or plated (pistol) projectiles, you could forgo the lead dipper, pot. and sizing die/lube. Especially for 5.56/.223, since FMJ projectiles are still relatively cheap. Plus, 5.56/.223 doesn't use as much powder as the bigger rounds like 7.62 NATO, so the same pound of powder would go a good bit farther.
