Product Review: Hornady Case Prep Trio

A review I posted on another site awhile back:


So I've been playing with this one for a few weeks now and I feel comfortable I've got enough volume through it for an initial review. (500 or so cases to date)

- It's nice and quiet. I don't catch guff from my wife in the other room which is always a plus.
- I was initially concerned about how ergonomic it would be, after one of the counter guys at a local reloading store here complained about how he couldn't figure out how to use it efficiently. This proved entirely unfounded. With the unit in front of you sideways, you can rest your hand on the bench and it's perfect. Very comfortable to use for long strings of cases needing work.

- One of the best features? It uses standard 8-32 threads..
This means that the RCBS primer pocket uniformer heads work perfectly. I've used both the large and small, and it sure beats a sore hand from using a manual tool.
- It also fits the RCBS primer pocket cleaner and brushes.

Assuming it has legs and doesn't burn out/wear out anytime soon, it was money well spent. It's made case prep a whole lot faster and easier.

The only downside is they built tool holders into the top. I find I'm resting a hand on top of the until while I'm working and they get in the way if you use them. No loss really.
