CASE PREP CENTER WITH CASE TRIMMER

[greg vess]

I would have bought one to begin with but just didn't see one so I bought the one Hornady makes that just has the the inside, outside chamfer bits and primer pocket cleaner that I swap with the primer crimp reamer. All that and I still have to trim every single one with the LEE breach lock die that has a cutter on a spinning handle. Once you pull the lever down and the case goes up into the a sizing die you have to crank that damn handle until you feel it not cutting anymore. Try doing three or four hundred cases that way. After the last 100 I did my hand and wrist felt like I just materbated for 3 days. REALLY, I KNOW! LOL I am joking off course!

I have the Frankfort arsenal and like it. It is easy to go between calibers. I ordered a rcbs carbide cutter for it and have done hundreds or cases with it. I have had it two to three years. I trim, chamfer, and deburr in about 10 seconds a case. After 50 cases, your hand will get tired. I found gloves help.

I second the need for gloves with the Frankfort.
