[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2470938, member: 30902"] For a beginner and even for the average loader who's not prepping thousands of cases a year honestly is the Lee system. [MEDIA=amazon]B000N8OM9O[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=amazon]B000NOQIOU[/MEDIA] The mandrel screws into the big piece on the left, the case is mounted using the second piece from the first kit screwed onto the second (right) piece from the right kit. Each caliber/round/cartridge has a SAAMI spec mandrel so it's totally fool proof. The bottom piece with the little stud can even be screwed into a cordless drill to prevent your hands form getting tired. I got to where I could probably finish any case cut to length in about fifteen seconds. You can use the RCBS or similar case Chamfering/Deburring tool while it's still mounted in the drill. About 2 seconds turn time for each step is probably a bit more than needed. Other than the most expensive systems out there I have yet to find any that do a better job and none of them do it as quickly. I bit the bullet a few years ago and bought the Hornady top of the line case prep system and while I certainly like some aspects of it I admit it isn't nearly as quick to use nor to swap from case to case. That too is the case for all of the bench mounted trimmers that look kind of like a lathe such as those you're looking at. [/QUOTE]
