The Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Case Prep and Trim Center is a multi-station reloading workstation designed to handle the most critical step in precision ammunition loading: case preparation. This all-in-one unit trims fired brass to exact length, chamfers case mouths, cleans primer pockets, and handles everything from .17 Remington to .460 Weatherby Magnum in a single setup—eliminating the need for multiple tools or shell holders.

Reloaders who demand consistency know that case trimming is non-negotiable for accuracy and safety. The Platinum Series uses an adjustable collet system that indexes cases on the shoulder for repeatable, square cuts every time. Once dialed in for your target length, brass feeds through quickly: the case mouth contacts the high-speed cutter while the shoulder stops against an internal bushing, giving you precision without fiddling. The motor and drivetrain are built for volume; the hardened steel cutters hold their edge through thousands of rounds before sharpening becomes necessary.

Beyond trimming, the center operates three additional tools simultaneously from a single platform. You get inside and outside chamfer tools (the VLD inside chamfer is especially useful for boat-tail projectiles), along with large and small primer pocket cleaners—all the auxiliary work happens in one session. The included adjustable stand lets you position the unit at a comfortable working angle, and the built-in storage box keeps collets, bushings, and tools organized and within reach. With three interchangeable collets and five bushings covering the entire range of shouldered cartridges, setup for a new caliber is straightforward.

Built from aluminum and steel, the Platinum Series is engineered for the long haul. Whether you're prepping brass for a single hunting season or running a high-volume reloading bench, this machine consolidates frustrating handwork into efficient, consistent operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers and cartridge types does this prep center handle?

The Platinum Series works with any shouldered cartridge from .17 Remington through .460 Weatherby Magnum. The adjustable collet system and included bushings adapt to the full range without shell holders; rimless, belted, and other bottleneck designs are all supported as long as they have a defined shoulder for indexing.

Can I use this to prep multiple cartridges in one session?

Yes. The three output shafts allow you to operate trimming, inside chamfering, outside chamfering, and primer pocket cleaning all at once. You can set up different tools for different jobs, making batch processing more efficient than single-function equipment.

Do I need to buy additional collets and bushings, or are they included?

Three collets and five bushings come with the unit and cover all shouldered cases in the supported range. Additional collets and bushings are available separately if you want to set up permanent stations for frequently-loaded calibers, but you won't need them to begin prep work.

What tools come in the box?

Included are three collets, five bushings, a VLD inside chamfer tool, an outside chamfer tool, large and small primer pocket cleaners, an adjustable stand, and a built-in storage box for organization.
