    I prep my brass on a Dillon S1050 with a rapid trim. My concession to the obssesive compulsiveness of match rounds is to inside/outside chamfer the flush cut neck the Dillon leaves and I like to clean the crud from my primer pockets prior to loading.

    Performing these processes by hand is a three part endeavor. The Hornady Case Prep Trio seems ideal for what I want to do,

    Anyone using one? Will it last? Is it junk?

    Thanks for your time.

    I use it and its ok. There isn't enough grip on the bottom where it doesn't slide all over the place. You have to hold it steady with one hand while you prep the case. That's really the only thing that brothers me about it. I'm looking to get something more like the RCBS where you push down.

    Good info, Ill take another look at the RCBS unit. The initial attraction to this is its compact size. Does the motor case heat up tp a point it cant be held steady?
     
    I wasn't able to check out the reviews for this on my work computer but was able to do so at home. Siglover it almost seems that you wrote the review for this at Sinclair as they had your same plusses and minuses.

    One thing I did learn is that the Hornady model is made in the USA while the others don't specifically mention that. Ill cast my lot with the American worker and hope that I don't get burned for my loyalty as is not rare to happen.
