[QUOTE="sierrastalker, post: 2900278, member: 125664"] I just got the FA case prep center and it's working great....but I got the version without the trimmer. It just handles the neck cham/debur and primer pockets. Haven't had a need to use the primer pocket stations yet. I got tired of the little hand tool I've used for years for cham/debur. I do my trimming with the LE Wilson and it works great with a small low speed electric screwdriver attached to run it. Very easy to get consistency with the LE Wilson trimmer, but the length it cuts to is based from the cartridge base, not off the shoulder. That consistency is total length. So for consistent neck lengths shoulder has to be bumped consistently. With my trimmer choice, I don't do massive quantities. I'm more concerned with consistency to feed my hunting and long range bolt action rifles than throughput. The hand tool for chamfering and deburring the necks after trimming was a real bottleneck at my bench and it gets uncomfortable if you're doing a big batch (100 rounds for me) so I feel like this FA tool is fitting in really nice to my process.
