Help me pick a case trimmer

[SamGoldstein]

So, I am just starting out in rifle case reloading. I've done pistol reloading for some time. I need a case trimmer, but don't know which one to purchase. I'm looking for a MANUAL trimmer that will do 8mm mauser, 30-06, and 7.62x54r. It should be easy for a beginner to use too. What do you suggest? Purchase price should be under $75. Thanks for any help.

Unless you plan on reloading thousands of each, I recommend the Lee trimmers. I've used them for years without a problem. For a couple hundred rounds a year, they're perfect.

Quick Trim, power trim, or zip trim? Can you supply a link to this trimmer? Thanks.

This is a bit over your budget, but I really like this one for the price point.

I recomend the lyman trimmer.

Wilson case trimmers are the standard for Precision rifle reloading.
That said any of the case trimmers that trim off of the shoulder will get you close enough for government work.
Sinclair International is the place to shop.

I use Lee Trimmers for the low volume stuff and the WTF for the high volume stuff.

The Lee's give you very consistent case lengths which is great for accurate ammo.

I like this one... Mine bench mounted to a 1750RPM motor I stole out of a scroll saw, but works in a drill or anything that spins.

It has interchangeable chambers for different cartridges. So if you need a different caliber its only 20 bucks.

Very nice. But out of my price range.

Well my next suggestion is a Lyman Universal... But your really better off if you increase your price range a little. I'm not saying to get a Giraud, but another 20-25 bucks may really increase your horizons.

Buy once cry once.

I never liked the Lee trimmers well they are cheap they suck to use for a lot of cases

I use a little crow for .223 and 6.8.

for all my bolt guns I use a manual trimmer.

this is a good price and should work for you.

Anybody use this trimmer: Lee Deluxe Quick Trim Case Trimmer? This looks simple and cheap. Plus it chamfers automatically.

Well, it uses Hornady shell holders only. I only have RCBS and Lee shell holders. Plus it looks like I have to buy a separate pilot for 8mm mauser.
