    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.
    Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.
