Lyman Case Prep Xpress ??

How do you turn $149.00 to $97.00 ???
I know our dollar is over par with the American greenback but no where near 150%
Check out MidSouth Shooters supply. Its listed for $96.62. Mystery solved .
Does anyone buy off a Manufacturers site ?
Then why did you link to the manufacture's site?
That was a deliberate attempt on my part to confuse you. I see it worked !
I have also been waiting for MidSouth Shooters Supply to get these in as it looks like a good unit. Originally it was to be available mid February but I see now it has been pushed back to mid April. Lyman seem to do this for some reason, I had ordered a tang sight for my Uberti 1866 rifle and it was a good two to three months later than originally stated before it was available for sale.
I don't know if anyone has seen any demo models of this unit, it would be interesting to see what they thought of it.

Just got back from work (at sea) and my Lyman case prep has arrived !!
Couple of things I've already discovered though I haven't used the unit in anger yet;
1) On another site someone had reported a grinding noise from his unit, but decided that this was normal after making some inquiries. Mine does NOT make a grinding noise. You do, of course hear the motor but its a whirring sound, similar to an electric drill but much quieter. As to the general noise level, I have nothing to compare it to. Its not really noteworthy IMHO.
2) The Lyman Express accepts the Redding (internal) flash hole deburring tool. "I happened to have one on hand".
3)
As to durability and all that, only time will tell. Right out of the box though, It appears to be a solid little piece of gear and its simple as it gets. It ought to attract reloaders who've been wrestling with the power case prep idea but couldn't really justify the cost. In operation, the Lyman has a lot of sharp #### spinning away all at once in a hand sized area. I expect, in time, there'll be a nick or two administered to the fingers of the inattentive courtesy of the Lyman Express.

"There are 2".
