New Hornady trim and prep center.

Has anyone tried the new Hornady case prep center?
How do you like it?
Is it worth the money?

I don't think it's available yet. I've been watching for it too.

I haven't tried it but the tasks it performs is clear enough; the price far exceeds it potential value to me. Rather have seperate tools and work by hand to craft quality reloads but it may have some value to those who shoot "spray and pray" games.

Mid-South has it on the cover of their Summer Catalog.
They is why I thought it was out.

This link has a home made prep center that works with a power screw diver, set in a fixture. I added stations like a cup with steel wool. http://home.comcast.net/~jesse99/caseprep.html

I played with the prep center at the convention in Phoenix. I liked it..
I am going to have to get something soon. The more I tax my hands
The faster gout is starting to move in and attack my knuckles ...

Re: New Hornady trim and prep center.

It looks like it is going to cost a pretty penny. I have a RCBS prep center, but i find it more rewarding to do all prep work by hand. If i am just loading up some coyote loads or AR loads i use the prep center. Save your money and buy the rcbs, if you feel you need one. Just my opinion of course!! Lee

Bill,
The Hornady guy I talked with while there said about 300 bucks.

That's the price at midway, still 'coming soon' last I looked. Not bad for a power trimmer+case prep center.
