I started with an RCBS, then went to lee, and I'm back to RCBS. I like the ease of the RCBS and Lee, but Lee doesn't do 204 and I had a bunch of wildcats

Honestly, I have all the barrels I want or could ever need..... wait, look, there's another!!

That's an easy answer, are you going to do thousands or just a hundred or so at a time? If you're going to do tons each time then a definite yes. If you're going to do a hundred or so then replace the hand crank with a bolt and use a cordless screwdriver to turn it. If you're the handy type, you can even build a jig that acts just like the power one - you do not need to buy the RCBS screwdriver conversion either.

(No, it's not an RCBS, but the concept is the same)

Here's a good example too, and I'd forgotten about the three way trimmer - Trim, Debur and chamfer - think I need to save a few more dollars and buy a couple of these....

I have the RCBS and the Lyman universal. I try to use the lyman most of the time because of ease of use. WWKMAG

Forster and old lyman universal that gets used for most normal trimming, neck reaming, etc.
