    Case trimmer/Prep Center

    What kind of Case Trimmer and Prep Center do you use? I use the Lee Case Length Gauges and a Lyman Case Prep Center. Lets see your setup.

    I’ve always used the lee case length gauges (except for calibers they don’t make one for, hornady case trimmer for those) with an RCBS case prep center. I’m going to upgrade, in the near future, to the Frankford Arsenal trim and prep station.

    I use a Giraud trimmer and never looked back. They are pricey but it does it all in one step.
    Always do whats right because it's always the right thing to do.

    I’ve got way too many calibers to go that route.

    I use the Hornady LNL case trimmer. Like using a drill press. Has the deburr & chamfer mounted on the front. Quick release shell holder. Easy to set the depth of cut then lock down.

    I use this with the Giraud Tri-Way trimmer for 223, 308 and 300BO. Use to have a video of it in action on Wes’s original FB page.







    Contemplating on getting the RT1500 in the future for my 650.

    I hope the image attaches properly to my response. I use the same RCBS station as many others but have a brass catch tray installed on mine so I can sweep the brass into a more convenient area for disposal. It helps keep a few more shavings off the bench which makes me happy.
