Lets talk trimmers

[HuntHarder]

Which trimmer are you guys using? I have used a lyman with the drill attachment for years, but am thinking about upgrading. I've starting looking at the Giraud, Hornady 3 in1, Henderson and also the world's finest. World's finest is by far the cheapest ( until I buy 8 of them). Anyone have any experience with any of these?

I recently purchased the Henderson trimmer after running the Frankford Arsenal case prep for years. I went with the Henderson because my hands get wrecked after trimming a couple hundred pieces on the FA.

I have a Giraud and wish I had a Henderson.

I have the WFT2 and use it for 7mm08 and 7 saum. Pretty darn easy. No experience with other trimmers.

Ive always preferred the lee case length gauges. Impossible to mess up and I put the case holder in a cordless drill. Makes for quick trimming and chamfering.

I have the LE Wilson and it works well

I use a std lyman. WFT is the worst trimmer I've ever used, I threw it away.

It's funny because a lot of reviews either say they absolutely love them or they hate them. Not a whole lot of in between.

Adjustment is via a set screw against the end mill flat.
The bearing that is used as a stop against the shoulder has slop so if you move the case at all, it over cuts.

I have a Husqvarna but I don’t like it. My next one will likely be a Stihl Kombi 2 stroke.

Oh, my bad. This is in the reloading section….

I use a L.E. Wilson and really like it.

I have a giraud. Can be a pain in the fingers, but works well. And I like that it cuts off the shoulder not the full case length.

If I was buying one today I’d probably get the Hornady when it’s on sale at scheels.

I have the Hornady. Super easy to adjust, and you don't have to hold the brass with your fingers. Not super familiar with the other options, but I doubt they could be any better.
