Case preparation centres

[Peecos]

Looking at purchasing an electric case prep centre for chamfering cases and primer pocket cleaning. Locally available is a Frankfurt Arsenal. Any experience or model preference from any other manufacturers? Thanks

I have been using RCBSs Universal Case Prep Center for a couple of years now. Works great for my case prep process... Got it when there was a good deal on them...

I have the Hornady one that works like a drill press with the handle that pulls down to trim...love it. Had the RCBS before and it was better than doing everything by hand, but the Hornady blows it away, especially if you want the ability to trim on the same unit. Of course you'll have to pay to play that game...

[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]I have a Lyman, I’m really happy with it, can’t think of any way I could improve on it. I’ve had it 15+ years and no signs of weakness yet. Can’t remember what I paid for it, maybe $80?

I too have had the Lyman unit for years and have no complaints at all.

+1 for the RCBS Case Prep - couple of advantages is that you press down on it, which makes it more stable than some of the other options out there, and there are also a couple of mounting points on the base that you can use to clamp or screw to the bench.

I agree, I have had mine for over three years & no problems.

The Lyman is the best I’ve tried. The quietest too.

I've been thinking about getting one too. Looks like the Lyman one gets a lot of love.

Frankfurt Arsenal has been great, trims precisely, fits its my work station the best. All functions accessible from the front so fits well under a shelf .

Bought the Frankfurt Arsenal unit, it’s just for primer pockets and deburring the case mouths. Has been working flawlessly, very quiet and does a great job. Sure has sped up that portion of my reloading sequence.
