Caes Trimmers

[sportsmans challenge]

The old electric rcbs with 3 way cutter head, chamfer in and out and length

Little crow gunworks world’s finest trimmer. I just have a cheap ryobi cordless drill with one chucked up 100% of the time. Stupid fast, stupid consistent, stupid easy to use. Can’t recommend it enough.

Everyone will say Giraud, $500. I haven't used it, but good reviews. If you're looking for just a basic one. The Wilson case trimmer is not bad. Bought a Lyman my first time, big mistake. But, everyone has there preference, or opinion. I say just find one that fits you, and go with it

Forster bench model and the power model that goes on a drill press is all I have used for many years. With the 3 way cutters.

I used the Giraud it’s good but loud. If I did over again I would spend the money on Henderson.

Frankford platinum. Cheap, quick, consistent. Get it on discount and use a glove and save yourself 300 bucks over the others.

I use the old hand cranked Forester, but it might be a time for an update if a bunch of people are saying Henderson.

Giraud or Lyman Trim Xpress. They trim based off the shoulder, not the case head, which is what my preferred method.

I love my Henderson trimmer. If you can't afford the full unit you can always buy the trimmer w/o the motor and run it off a drill. If you do go this route and have to buy multiple cutters, spend the extra $ to have them pre-adjusted....I've found them to be a PITA to get adjusted just right.

RCBC trim pro with power set up and 3-way & lee case lenght gauge timers on my Lyman prep station.
Both work good. Trim pro just take time to set up, but then its a time saver.

Henderson and i love it

Giraud has been awesome. Spent more than I wanted to but makes short work of the process.

Lee case trimmer. I'm not a speed loader or bulk loader. Sit outside on patio with a beer, watch some TV and trim away. Very consistent.

I'm with you, but I can rip out some cases with that little thing. I use a cordless drill, spin the case, trim it to length and ID / OD chamfer in one set up. It's so stupid easy you can watch TV and do it accurately. Just put a big beach towel across yourself and then shake the chips off in the yard.

Frankford here. It's okay. It's a step up from the lee case trimmers on a drill for sure.

I'm about to buy the RCBS carbide cutter for it. The oem one sucks IMO. It trims but not very quickly after 1500 cases or so. Going to get the RCBS chamfer too. The deburr tool is a beast though.

The only complaint I have is that it's hard to get a consistent chamfer and deburr angle on it from case to case since it's dependent on your hand angle. However I'm still making really good loads so that's just me being OCD. I've been cleaning up the inner and outer case mouth every firing.

The new Hornady trimmer released today is probably going to obsolete a lot of stuff out now.. curious what the price will be

 

[NRA4LIFE]

Don't buy a Hornady. It sucks but I'm too cheap to invest in a new one. It is horribly inaccurate and I have to measure and measure constantly.

I'm guessing $499.99. Between this trimmer looking and functioning just like a Henderson and the Aeromatch bullets, Hornady is really copying the market!
