[QUOTE="Sanford, post: 2367268, member: 27733"] Got the Lyman a couple of weeks ago, have been giving it a workout on .308 and .30 so far. It works well, but I've decided that for military crimp removal and primer pocket uniforming I still prefer to put the tools in an electric screwdriver and do them that way - easier to see and hold horizontally, for me at least. Of course, those are one-time operations on once-fired brass, can see the prep center working out great for subsequent loads. Can also see it being excellent for pistol cases, but haven't done any yet. The only negative I have at this point isn't so much with the prep center as with one of the tools that came with it - the outside chamfer tool just doesn't work all that well. I end up having to rock and rotate the cartridge a number of times before holding straight and pushing down pretty hard to eliminate the last bit of ridge left by case trimming. I'm going to be looking for an alternative for that one. [/QUOTE]
