    WFT here also but I'm gonna give the Giraud Tri Way Trimmer a try this year. I don't reload that many cases but case prep is what I hate most about reloading

    With the exception of the WFT I have owned just about every power trimmer in existence. My money is on the Giraud. It is pricey but high quality usually is. I don't see a downside to indexing off the case shoulder. If your cases are properly resized you will get a consistent trim length. Second place goes to the Dillon which I think is the fastest of them all.

    I also have a Giraud, nothing better IMO. If you think about it, the OAL of rifle brass isn't the critical dimension, it's the case head to the shoulder, and second the shoulder to case mouth. If the cases are resized to where the shoulder is right and they'll chamber properly, then the mouth just needs to be trimmed back enough to clear the end of the chamber and the leade. As long as your brass is resized properly first, the Giraud excels at this.

    Just the way I see it, but the overall case head to mouth length isn't the most important dimension in my opinion. I'll never be able to own a rifle capable of dime-sized groups, and I'll never be able to see well enough to shoot like that either, so I sure as Hell ain't never gonna separate brass by headstamps and fret over miniscule, inconsequential manufacturing differences. If a case will resize ok and hold a primer, Ima gonna fill that sumbitch up and use it! Most likely going into long-term storage anyway.
