    Default What case trimmer is everybody using/recommends

    Ok so what brand of trimmer is everybody using ? I currently using a lyman with the power adapter and I'm honestly not happy with the accuracy among other things. I have been eyeing the Sinclair ultimate trimmer does anybody have any feedback on this trimmer. I know it still a basic trimmer and leaves a burr but the accuracy seems awesome. I really can't afford and don't want a Giraud as it locates off the headspace and using multiply makes brass even run through the same resizing die doesn't seem to make accurate size brass.

    I like the WFT but sounds like it probably won't be what you want since it trims based off of the shoulder.

    Honestly I running Girauds triway and I can't get accuracy out of the out it even separating the brass after sizing into similar sized brass checking it with a headspace gauge from Wilson with calipers. I love the way it trims it chamfers the case and trims so it is ready to load afterwards

    You want a powered or manual one?

    Are you trimming quantity plinking ammunition or smaller number of benchrest cases?

    I have a Giraud and a power adapter for the Lee quick trim. I had one of Giraud's tri-way trimmers and all of them produced acceptable ammunition for me. If I had a Dillon 1050 or 650, I would get the 1500 trimmer on a toolhead.

    I hope you find something that works for you.

    WFT seems to work very well. I'm happy with it.
