Best case trimmer ?

[45C]

Hello
I’m thinking about upgrading my Frankfurt Arsenal platinum.
Looking at the Giraud or the Henderson.
Any thoughts or opinions?

Thanks

My thought is that Lee makes a trimmer that does the job, works on a progressive, and is remarkably inexpensive:

Henderson is pretty awesome.

how about a Wilson with micrometer, you need the shell holdeers for individual calibers.

I have a Giraud. It's done me well. Well built, high quality. It was bought many years ago.

Started with Forster, then got the Wilson and just got the Henderson. Still have them all and use them all.

Your volumes will really dictate on what will serve you best.

If you're looking at Giraud or Henderson you really can't go wrong.

Thanks, I’m at the point where 100 is my limit on the FA.
Looking to do trim/ inside/outside in one pass.
Consistency as well
Fastest as possible..

I really like my Lyman Trim Xpress, and just looked up the 3-way cutting head you mentioned. It would be a great addition, but I need to do more reading on adjustments... I'm not keen on the aggressive outside chamfer that they show on their site:

I just went through the same question, went with a Wilson.

I have the same.... it insanely consistent. I already had their neck turning lathe before they developed the trimmer option. By spinning the case (and not the cutter) the head is guaranteed to be perfectly square

I just bought an lyman trimmer xpress (electric) and its worth every penny. A few seconds per brass and very consistant, As long as your shoulder measurement isnt all over the place. Had the hornady manual trimmer prior, always dreaded using it, took forever. Doesnt deburr or chamfer though so depends how much time u want to save and how deep your wallet is.

No mystery that the Giraud and Henderson are good. I didn't buy them as I would have needed too many add on pilots, adaptors, cutting heads, etc., at the time, some being custom. I ended up adding to my 21st Century neck turn setup, their 3 way is easy to change calibers on, not overly pricy if you already have some of their stuff, as I did.

Looks like that would make a great leather punch…

I have Lyman universal carbide case trimmer and it is a POS. Their customer service is worse than that.

Anyone tried the new Hornady 3-in-1 Trimmer? Looks similar to the Henderson.
