Case prep stations

[jersurf101]

I am about to buy a case prep station. The hand reaming and chamfuring has become too slow. I will also use it for military crimp removal on primer pockets of 5.56 and 7.62x51 among the other functions. I have narrowed it down to the lyman or the RCBS. The Hornady is out of my price range and I have a decent trimmer.

I am really leaning towards the RCBS. it looks like it is built like a tank compared to the Lyman. Anyone here own either ans want to talk me out of a RCBS case prep station?

I have the rcbs..
So I am no help to talk you out of one.

I use all 5 stations on it..
Chamfer debur clean neck with brush, flip case over remove crimp and brush primer pocket.

They still have the rebate going on until june I think

The only negative if you can call it that is the others come with a few more tools than the rcbs..

I also won't talk you out of a chargemaster or a powered trimmer..

While the hand tool is cheap and will do the job, it wears my skin and is uncomfortable when prepping large numbers of brass. I purchased RCBS and not only have I saved my fingers, but I can prep cases twice as fast.
