Hornady Case Prep Center
Overall this is a great way to process brass. setup for a specific case is less than 5 minutes for pilot installation, shell holder installation and height adjustment. Care must be taken to not apply to much down pressure on the handle as there is some flex in the interface between the main housing ...

May have been a better product back in the day...
Just for some background, I'm an old buzzard. Been reloading since the mid '70s. Having recently processed 600 5.56 military cases by hand, I had to admit my time hand-twisting case prep tools was over. The Hornady Lock-N-Load Power Prep Center is the most expensive tool of its type I've found, but ...

Hornady case prep
I was advised by two friends to purchase this workstation. It has everything a person needs to prepare cases. I shopped around, and got the absolute best day from Optics Planet, and extremely quick delivery. I have been extremely fortunate, and happy, with all purchases I have made from Optics Planet.
Would recommend: Yes
great if you are trying to save space
It's awesome although it is more of a vanity item than a necessity. If you need to save space on your bench or you like taking the easy road when possible this is a great addition.
Pros:
- easy to use
- Space saver
- cool tool
Cons:
- Pricey
Would recommend: Yes
Complete One Station Case prep
I chose to purchase one item to do a complete case prep of used military brass. This fits the bill. Contains everything You need except for the reamer to remove the military crimp and the uniformer to clean up the primer hole.

Lock N Load Power Case Prep Center 050012
I just got my Case Prep Center and man am I impressed This thing is solid . I have read reviews and watched many videos . The best video I have seen is from Hornady Loader. He does a very in depth video . I would suggest anyone purchasing this tool should watch for some hints no one else I saw talks about . He also made a very nice and inexpensive program called Reloader's Workshop . This Case Prep Center is a very solid unit and comes with everything I need . I watched one video that said it didn't ,but either Hornady upgraded or he is flat out wrong LOVE my latest addition from Hornady . Optics Planet blew everyone out of the water. Watch for their great sales. The 500 free bullets sure make the price a lot easier also.
Pros:
- Well built , Great Design,Easy to use
Cons:
- None I have seen yet
Best Used for:
- Serious Reloader
Would recommend: Yes

Must Have for Hand Loading Rifle Cartridges
This thing is almost as impressive as sliced bread, ALMOST! This will take some adjusting to get setup for your cases, but if your handloading rifle rounds this machine makes quick work of the tedious tasks. I was reluctant to purchase this item due to some bad reviews and the price of course. However, I must say after owning this for some time now I am very pleased I spent the money. If you are into handloading, but your tired of using hand tools to case prep this thing is what you want. I recommend waiting for it to go on sale and perhaps compound some coupons to get the price down a tad, the 500 free bullets don't hurt either on the reloaded promo from hornady for 2016 either.
Would recommend: Yes

Great product!
I really like the Hornady case prep center that I purchased. Purchase arrived quickly, and whipping container ensured no damage. Optics Planet is great to deal with! Prep center works great also. The unit came with the most popular caliber holders. It is very strudy and well built. You can't go wrong with this unit to trim, ream primer pockets, or chamfer case moutns.
Pros:
- Sturdy
Cons:
- None
Best Used for:
- volume case prep
Would recommend: Yes

Quicker Cartridge Case Prep
I like the Hornady Lock-n-Load Power Prep Center. It appears well built with sufficient torque to ream, uniform, polish primer pockets and trim cartridge cases. I have use it to prepare 5.56x45, 7.62x51 and .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge cases. For case trimming, I found that there is a bit of play in the spindle adjustment and locking mechanism, which results in case length variations of .0003”. Overall, I like the product. I would buy it again.
Pros:
- well built, solid construction
Cons:
- not a machinist accuracy
Best Used for:
- quick cartridge case prep
Would recommend: Yes
