          The reason why I bought the Giraud back in 2007 is because I shoot High Power Rifle with the Service Rifle (AR) and a lot of it. I put thousands of .223 rounds down range a year, every weekend either in matches or practice. So the $400 or so spent on that trimmer saved me a lot of time in the garage for case prep which I was able to put towards actual range time and matches, instead.
