| I purchased a Hornady powered case prep / trimmer today has anyone used this? What are pros and cons? |
|
Quoted:
Most people ask for pros/cons before they purchase. How do you like it?  lol.....I should have asked before I purchased. It was an impulse purchase. I was at Cabelas over the weekend and as a walked by the shelf the box grabbed my arm....  as for liking it.....haven't had the chance to use it yet. I will follow up with my thoughts later this coming weekend.

Personally, I thought it was way too expensive for the mixed reviews I saw on other sites. SO, I didn't get it. Let us know what you think.. Reloading is like a box of chocolates.. Some people like the orange filled ones, some people don't. It always depends on what you need it for.
For example, I have the Lyman prep center. It doesn't do everything the Hornady does, but it does all I needed. I trim using other methods. So, it was all I need. Although now I don't use it much anymore since I do most of the other functions with other things.. (flash hole cleaning with wet tumbler and decrimp with Dillon Swager for example). |

I bought one a while back from a nearby Bass Pro. Got it home and it was missing the debur tool, although it included chamfer tools for both regular and VLD bullets. Went to plug it in and the "box" the plug is contained in broke...had to tape it back together. Turned it on and nothing. I was finally able to finagle it into working and used it to prep some .223 brass. Worked okay.
A couple weeks later, I went to use it again and couldn't get it to turn on at all. Frustrated, I put it away, drove to the LGS, and bought the RCBS case prep center. I've been perfectly happy with it. One of these days I'll remember to call Hornady CS and get the case prep trio sent back. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
