what do you all use? do you do it manual or do you have something like the rcbs trim mate I am considering purchasing this as my case prep seems to take forever doing it manually.
I do everything by hand - Lyman case trimmer with neck turning adapter, lyman and RCBS hand tools.
I figure I takes a bit over 1 minute per case for full prep (doing batches of 50 per step), but you need to do it only once.
Once fired steps: tumble for 2 hours, size, trim, chamfer in and out, primer uniform, flash hole uniform, neck turn, tumble for another hour.
I'm with MO Lyman trimmer and hand tools I have tried Lee's trimmers where you use a dill and pilot specific for your caliber {.223} the hand tools are cheap . With this weather I've prep'ed lots of brass.
