Case prep center

[Goose71]

For those that use a case prep center which brand do you favor. My RCBS is running out of life. looking for recommendations on a middle of the road cost.

RCBS trim mate going on 20 years. I'd probably go with the RCBS brass boss if I had to replace it as it gives one extra rotating station.

I have the Frankfort arsenal case prep center. Haven't used it a whole lot yet but so far I'm really liking it.

I use the Lyman case prep center. I love the versatility, and ease of use. Works great for me, but may not be the best for how you reload.
We all have our own unique ideas and practices.

I have the Lyman. Works pretty good. I wish it would spin faster.

Not Hornady.

I have used a Lyman for 10+ years. It is rugged and seems to get the job done. I recently purchased a Trim-It II micrometer adjustable 3-way case trimmer that indexes off the shoulder. It takes several minutes to get setup correctly the first time but definitely speeds the process up since it trims the case and inside/outside chamfers in one step. The only downside is if the case is too short to start with.

Lyman works great and captures all the shavings

I like my Lyman. It's the only one I've ever used so I have nothing to compare it to.

Lyman hands down!

Same here. Good solid unit.

I have a Lyman case preparation center.... works good, does capture the shavings. For a case trimmer I use a Redding with pilots and an adjustable case head holder which is a bit fussy
