Hey guys, just wondering what you are using for .17 case prep tools. I am getting into more .17 HH reloading and my Forester trimmer can not go down to .17 cal and my case neck turner is pretty antiquated. I can likely get by with the turner(have to make a pilot for it) but the case trimmer is a no-go. So, wondering what you use, price, parts availability , how well it works, etc.

I'm in the same situation. I just got a 17 hornet too and my lee trimmer won't work as the hole for the pilot is too big.
Also hoped to form brass from 22 hornet, but the hornady dies that came with the gun won't work for forming from 22 to 17.
There must be people making 17 fireball or some such, who have to trim their brass.

Ive got a sinclair and RCBS case trimer, and had to buy a .17 cal cutter for one and a shell holder and pilot for the other.
