I am in the market for a case prep station. I am not a big time reloader but I did just complete a 1,500 round job of 38 Spcl for a good buddy. All on a Rock Chucker single stage. I hand twisted all the brass in cleaning pockets. I also prepped 140 cases of .243 once fired brass for him. Trimmed them on a hand cranked RBCS bench mounted trimmer. Hand twisted the pockets, deburred the flash holes from the inside, de-burred and chamfered them all by hand twisting with hand tools.
Never gave this much thought because I never reload this volume for myself. I have realized that if I ever do another big project, I will need one of these. Even if I only do my own stuff, it would be nice to flip a switch and let a motor do the twisting.
So what would you all recommend? Keep in mind, I am generally low volume and can't imagine anything as large as what I just did. I would like to not break the bank but also have something that will last me the rest of my life.
I reload 9mm, 40, 45, 38, 357, 30-30, 243, 308, 7mm mag and soon...270. I might shoot 500-1000 rounds a year in the pistols and 200-300 rds in my rifles.
Suggestion from experience please. Thanks.
