Case trimmers

I like the Lyman Universal. I'd buy another, or they might replace yours if it's a defect and not operator error. How'd it break?

I bought one to do my 17FB brass. It works very well but I have to learn not to put so much pressure on it. I'm only cutting brass, not steel.

I use a Guiard and it rocks, especially for the large amounts of 5.56 brass I have laying around. Makes trimming simple, easy and fun to do. Can do alot in a short period of time. The price is steep but you get what you pay for. It is a stellar trimmer and one I will never part with.

Similar to this in speed, is the drill press mounted Forster unit for $50.00. The drill press I have I picked up at Canadian Tire. With the combination of it being on sale and by using CT bongo money, I got the thing for $36.00.

It drills holes too :D .

Actually, there was a mounting bolt to buy and I also had to order a pilot or two. Definitely got in for under $100.00 though.
 
+1 on the Little Crow Gunworks trimmer. Not a Guiard but for under $100 and the ability to run 400+ pieces of brass an hour it rocks!
 
I`ve had a Forster for many years with the outside turning attachment. Pilots i make as needed, If i was loading a lot of one cartridge i would look at a power trimmer of some kind, some nice but pricey units available.

It attaches to your electric drill and it makes quick work of resizing your brass. Plus it's extremely accurate. I've ordered one but I'm still awaiting my delivery. The only downside that I see is that it is caliber specific. Google "world's finest trimmer" for user reviews.

This device is definitely worth considering if you hate resizing your brass.

I just got one of these in .223 in the mail from Brownelles Friday.

I currently use a trimp-pro, and I have a Foster that broke still sitting under the bench somewhere......

I set-up the WFT on friday night, I have yet to try it out on multiple cases. I have 1700 pieces resized and needing a trim, so by next weekend I should have a pretty good idea how it works :)

Cheers!

I picked up one of these in 223 and 308 recently. I used the 308 this past week when time allowed to trim some cases. I had near 1000 to do and it took me maybe 3 hours to trim them all. I aimed for 2" even and they measured around 1.995 to 2.005 in the extreme. Most were within a few thou of 2". It works great.
 
Same one as the above, only like $150 cheaper I think.
