case trimmer

[Short Knife Johnson]

I like my little Forester hand crank jobbie, but from what I gather anything Sinclair is the Cadillac.

Lee, and a cheap drill press.

mount the cutter and case length gauge in the press.
Fast, accurate, reliable.

Upgraded from a Lee to a Sinclair/Wilson ultimate trimmer due to lack of case length gauges for a .375 ruger and .348 , well worth the price in my opinion.

Lee will make custom gauges. I got one in 358Win a couple yrs back. Worth the wait.

Also, I've made my own custom ones. The last one I made was for a 375/338. I just bought one for a 458Win and had it turned down.

I also have a Lyman . It has worked good for me.

Well, as no one hs mentioned this one.

I use the Hornady cam lock trimmer and it works.

Giraud, hands down.

They make trimming fun! Giraud's are pricey, but the ease of use, uniform cutting and speed make it the right buy for large volumes of brass.

If money was no issue, I'd own a Giraud Trimmer, a Forster Co-Ax single stage press, a Dillon 650 progressive.

Money is an issue though, so I have an RCBS rockchucker and Lyman trimmer, both work satisfactorily.

I contacted Lee for a custom guage and they told me were that they were unable to ship to Canada. It was a good excuse for me to upgrade anyhow.

The Giraud is expensive but you are done with it. I purchased a few including the prized Wilson trimmer but nothing beat this one.

If you need the feed the pigs ( semi !! ) you will never look back.

I started out with a very basic model Forester and it served me well for many years. As part of my gradual upgrade in equipment and to fill the 'need' when I got my 500 S&W, I settled on a Lyman Universal. My buddy had recently bought one and it seemed to be be more than adequate and work well so...... It works well and no complaints.

Another one for the Lee, put a stud on it and have in mounted in my RCBS case prep center. Works awesome!

Weird, I just ordered one last week.

Weird, I just ordered one last week.

Maybe i should have waited a day and called back , not the first time got some wrong information.

I have a RCBS power trimmer and a Lyman hand-crank.I prefer the Lyman when doing only a box or so.The RCBS is ok for a large amount of one size at a time,but I find it slow to set up and use.At $400.00 it is no bargain and I am not sure I would recommend it.
