So, do any of you have experience with this thing?

I'm really close to bringing it in for my bench.

Any input would be appreciated.

I've had one for years and when I need it, it's great. Since I load almost exclusively pistol calibers, I use it primarily to ream primer pockets in military and S&B brass. When loading rifle cartridges, it's great for deburring and chamfering and for cleaning primer pockets if you do that step. I and some buddies need to load a bunch of .223 and we plan to get together and set up an assembly line. I have the Dillon electric trimmer, so we'll have someone doing the decapping and trimming, someone using the RCBS Case Master (aka Case Prep Center) and someone loading them on my 2nd Dillon 650.

Thanks Charles! I thought about the Dillon trimmer mounted to my 650, but just couldn't make myself like the idea...

Guess I'll get the order placed, there's a rebate going with RCBS this quarter anyway.

Welp, bought one of these and have to say, it is GREAT!

Trimmed and prepped my .300 Blk in no time, and I didn't have to pull on that stupid string to trim.

They do seem to work great for what they were made for.

I call the Lee rope pull trimmer a "Briggs & Stratton Trimmer"
