So, I took the plunge and bought the hornady case prep center. The new one. Got it from Midsouthshooterssupply.com good deal as I got the case activated powder drop too for $500 shipped to my house. I ordered last Thursday (21 Feb 2013) received Monday (25 Feb 2013). Opened it at about 5pm and set it up to cut .223 brass. Went through about 100 the first night. Another 200 the second day and 300 the third day. Then today I went through 100 cases before the motor seized and stopped all together (28 Feb 2013). Now I don't know how much use one can put on this piece of equipment but I couldn't even get through 600 cases before if blew. For the price I paid I am very dissapointed. I have contacted Hornady and they will send me a shipping label to send it back to them and have it repaired or replaced. What are your thoughts on it? Should I stick with it and give it another chance or should I just return it to midshouthshooterssupply and get another more reliable unit? Thanks
