Case prep station which one ?

[noload]

Lyman Case-Prep Xpress or RCBS, I'm going to buy one, any buys out there?? and which is better and why.
I need it for 6mmbr and 284S and in between sizes.

The one good thing about the lyman is it collects all the shavings and you can brush them into the container and throw them out.

I have the RCBS... but I ended up buying a set of Lyman case prep tools (VLD chamfer, etc.) to replace the original RCBS ones. Not sure if the Lyman one comes that way, or has the standard (45 degree) tool.

Those things look like the fighting robot from Dune.

Want a gizmo du jour, go for it?


Want a tool that will last ten lifetimes and has been the standard for precision since first introduced, look at Wilson

I have done thousands of cases on the RCBS case prep machine.
It works great. I mount a nylon brush on top to clean the necks.
Primer pocket cutter, inside and outside chamfer tools, 60 deg inside
chamfer and flash hole tool, all working at once!

This is a great tool!

I just bought the lyman. Advice from a man that said the same thing about shavings. It keeps most of them in the bin.

what about the frankford arsenal? looks good to me. allen

what ever one you buy don't throw out the shavings. if you don't want them send to me along with spent primers and bad brass. I take it all to recycle place and sell it. going price right now is $1.90 a lb.

I believe about 2 weeks ago there was a thread on here stating just how good the Frankford Arsenal prep station ism

See what you can find out about the gears and motor. That info could be useful in the long run.

sorry bad info, the thread was on Long Range Hunting

I have been using a RCBS station since they first came out. Its still going strong after all those years.

I have the lyman chamfer tools now and spin them it a drill, I like them better than the rcbs cutters. So I was leaning towards Lyman.

I've got the wilson tools. I want to try something that doesn't require putting the cases in a case holder a thousand times.
