So I just ordered this bad boy. I figure it will be faster than the way I have been doing it, and it trims and preps on the same machine.
We'll see how it works out when it gets here as I have 300 7wsm cases to prep and I wasn't about to do it all by hand.

The Hornady Lock-N-Load Power Case Prep Center is the only tool on the market to combine case prep tools and a power trimmer in one handy unit! Combining essential case prep tools into one handy unit saves reloaders real estate on their bench and valuable time in the reloading process. The new Hornady Lock-N-Load Case Prep Center includes a power trimmer, chamfer/deburing tools, primer pocket cleaner and five neck brushes. A primer pocket uniformer, primer pocket reamers, and flash hole deburing tool can be purchased separately. This can only be used with Hornady shell holders.
*Micro adjustable to 1/1000" *Trim cases from 3/4" to 3 1/4" in length *Vertical design of the power trimmer and horizontal design of the tools keeps shavings from falling into cases, and makes case discharge easy *Power Chamfer/Deburing Tool cleans inner case diameter *Power Deburing Tool cleans outer case diameter *Large and small Primer Pocket Cleaners are standard *Comes with five popular neck brush sizes
 
Are you going to be able to purchase the Hornady shell holders needed to make that unit sing?
I've never seen a Hornady shell holder for sale in Canada...ever.
Lots of other Hornady stuff but not one single shell holder.

You can use Redding shell holders or the standard RCBS if you drill out the centers to create a larger hole.
Cim330,
I ordered from Buffalo Arms.

Bass Pro in Calgary also has them.
 
Regardless if you can get Hornady shell holders in Canada, I can make the system work with very minor adjustments.

No, I haven't recieved the unit yet, Buffalo Arms called me a couple of days ago and told me they had a computer problem and are back-ordered so I ordered with another outfit.

It has shown up and works like a hot damn. I love it.
I set it up so that I:
1.) trim to length
2.) uniform primer pockets
3.) chamfer
4.) deburr necks
5.) deburr flash holes
6.) brush necks

The whole process takes 30-45 seconds per case and I did 100 7wsm rounds in an hour and a half including inspecting cases and measuring length periodically to confirm nothing went out of whack.
I wouldn't give this machine up and go back to doing everything manually for any money.

There is a YouTube clip of a guy doing a .308 round at the unveiling of the machine at the Shot Show.

Highly recommended,
Ivo
