Skeet, me know nothing of it either . . . still use an RCBS hand crank. Keep thinking I should spend the hundred bucks for the motor, but keep putting it off.

Price don't sound bad, but I'd check & see what cutters cost for the rest of the calibers, and if they're readily available, Waidmannsheil, Dom.

It's top of the line - especially if you are a high-volume loader. It trims, chamfers and deburrs at the same time.

You do have to buy a separate cutter head for every caliber, but that's the only drawback. I think they usually sell for about $300 new - plus cutters.
