Got my Frankfort Arsenal case prep station today and got it set up and adjusted. Why have I waited so long this is sweet. 223 cases are so easy now and my hand doesn't hurt.

I've thought about getting a case prep station myself but haven't made that leap yet. Since I started reloading this year I've already gone way over my intended budget on the equipment and just spent a small fortune build my HRC stockpile of powder, primers and bullets before November.

My current case prep set up is a Lyman Universal trimmer slightly modified to work on my drill press. Makes trimming much faster. From there I have a chamfer cutter, outer deburing cutter, and an RCBS small primer crimp remover that all chuck up in my cordless drill. I try to do prep my cases about 200 at a time and it's still a chore. The good news is I'm sitting on about 1k of prepped and ready to load 223/5.56 brass right now. Eventually I'll probably break down and get one myself.

I just bought 500 once fires 223 and it seamed like I could see no end to the preping. My old hands and wrist was starting to complain. I would rather they hurt from shooting.
