Let me know how easy it is to setup for case trimming. With my arthritis in both thumbs i may be getting one of these.

I'm also going to have to get some new type of priming tool. My RCBS and Lee hand primers have served me well but I can only do about 10 rounds before by thumb joints are screaming at me.

Thanks

I have the Lyman and no problems at all. My son uses the Hornady and loves the thing but at the time it was over $300

I've been thinking maybe I only have a little arthritis cause it's when I hit the 40 to 50th case that my thumbs knuckles start to get sore and I have to take a break. This last week I prepared about 150 cases in one day. It was a bit of a drag by the time I was doing that last 10. But should now have enough to shoot for a while. I'll probably definitely do the 178x bullet as a go to load for my 308 win. I wish there was a 180 ABLR but there is a 190 and a 210. I've shot the 210's out of the 308 just slow about 2480ish fps. As for external ballistic it kind of seems pretty good for extending the range on the 308.

Reloaders that have had case prep centers the motorized type which one has the most longevity and has worked the best. I won't be doing any military brass that needs to have the primer pockets done. Use would be chamfering, deburring, and primer pocket cleaning with a brush or the little flat blade scraper. I think as I've gotten older I have a little more arthritis in my fingers. Just looking at making some of the operations easier. I really wish I could get one of the super expensive trimmers that do not leave burrs. I also been looking at the RCBS dedicated trimmers that do the entire job but then I may be in it for more money with those. So anyone that has some opinions on these would like to hear them. Currently reading reviews on the RCBS and Lyman. Will also look at others.

I hear you on making the reloading process easier, especially with arthritis in the mix. From what I've read and heard from other reloaders, both the RCBS and Lyman case prep centers have good reputations. The RCBS Trim Mate Case Prep Center is known for its durability and ease of use. It can handle chamfering, deburring, and primer pocket cleaning pretty efficiently.
