RCBS or Lyman case prep centre?

[David N]

My hands have given up, so think its time to look for a way of doing case prep with greater ease. Are there any pros or cons between the RCBS and Lyman centres. Only currently loading for 223 and 17 hornet.
Anyone know where the best deal for one can be found? or are there different solutions out there?

anyone using a Hornady Case Prep Duo

thanks
David

After some considerable research, I chose the Lyman and am very, very happy with it.
Haven't used any of the others so can't compare, but the Lyman does everything I want
I have 4 stations on it set up to:
1. Clean the inside of the case neck with a brush
2. Trim to length using the Lee adaptor, case length cutter and gauge appropriate for case being reloaded
3. Chamfer the inside of the case neck
4. Bevel the outside of the case neck
I don't use the primer pocket tools since wet cleaning with stainless pins takes care of that.

Cheers

I like my Lyman,fone 1000’s of cases now snd it’s much easier than the old way of hand tools

+1 For the Lyman and with the Lee trim to length it makes all the case pre so easy, I have mine set up under my desk at work in a large plastic box so when I get a spare 5 minutes I do a few cases just as well I have over 2000 cases to do!
