Case prep station preferences?

[Maverick1911]

In my never ending search for time saving ways to prep large volumes of brass, I was considering a case prep station. RCBS seems it get great reviews but I figured I would throw it out to some of my OSA reloaders....and, if the prep is worth it is the military crimp remover worth having on one of these or just stick to the old Dillon swage?

Don't have a case prep center - have been looking at both the RCBS and the Lyman - but can say that RCBS' military crimp remover works quite well when used with a rotary tool on low speed.

I have the Hornady case prep trio. The crimp is easily removed with the low speed carbide cutter.

I use the rcbs case prep.

I have the Dillon swager and use the RCBS prep station for cleaning primer pockets and lubing inside case necks.

RCBS Case Prep Center for primer pocket cleaning, and neck chamfer / deburring.

Pretty much in line with what I have been seeing...I have heard a lot if good things about the Hornady since it has a case trimmer...but since I just spent a small fortune on the dillon case trimmer it would be redundant. Do you have to buy all the attachments for the rcbs prep center?

It comes with the primer pocket brushes, chamfering and deburring tools, and neck brushes. You have to purchase the military crimp removal and other tools seperately. I prefer to swag (Dillon) the primer pocket over the Case Prep Center Crimp Removal tool for military crimps.
