I have not reloaded in years, and am about to get back into it.
Does anyone out there have first-hand experience with using one or more of the following case prep systems, digital scales and powder dispensers?
• Hornady Lock-N-Load Auto Charge Powder Dispenser
• Hornady Lock-N-Load Case Prep Center
• Hornady Lock-N-Load Power Case Prep Center
• RCBS Chargemaster Combo Scale & Dispenser
• RCBS Trim Pro Power Case Trimmer Kit
• RCBS Trim Mate Case Prep Center
• Lyman DPS 3 digital powder system.
• Lyman Case Prep Center Xpress
I have a very large volume of rifle cases to reload and am wondering if these new devices are worth the extra investment to help me save time.
Both work and family are eating into my free time so I need something to really speed things up when reloading. I understand it will cost more to upgrade - but frankly think that I’ll just “bite the bullet” so reloading does not take as much time as before.
I’m doing everything manually now and – as you all know - it takes time – something I do not have a lot of.
If you have/use these, I’m interested in your thoughts and experiences on their utility and value added to your reloading operation and any recommendations on the items as well as their advantages/disadvantages. I currently reload rifle but may take up pistol cartridge reloading in the future.
Thanks!
