Great suggestions,
I guess the thing I hate the most is trimming brass with the Lee manual cutters.

While I have 3 different case cutters ( rcbs,Redding,lyman all lathe style) lately I have gone back to the Lee cutters, but with a twist. I used an old 12pt socket that the cutter just barely fit into. Welded up the 3/8 square hole and centered a tap for a standard threaded bolt I drilled and tapped a set screw through the side if the socket ( to tighten the Lee cutter into the socket) this gets mounted via the screw in the bottom onto my rcbs case prep station.
Now I have a single step case prep station the takes 15-20 seconds / brass for all steps( length cutting, champhering, primer pocket cleaning/ reaming) just an idea for trimming brass with the Lee.( I agree the Lee method is not the most fun and usually leaves my hands badly cramped)
