    what trimmer do you use?

    New to reloading and have fired off my first 100 rounds of reloaded 9 and now I want to step it up to my 22-250. I went to trim some cases that needed it and was not so happy with my trimmer so I took it back. I had a Redding lathe trimmer and found out that I didn't like the way it held the case and also the way it determines how much is trimmed. Maybe it was just beacuse I wasn't used to it but I thought...there has to be something better than this.

    So, what do you guys use to trim? Anything you can recommend?

    Thanks!

      I just got two CTS, one in 308 and one in 223.

      They look nice, I can;t WAIT to use them...

      Someone did a review of them here in the past month.

        RCBS electric trimmer. Happy with it.
        A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

                I collect Military Arms and enjoy shooting in local matches. I also collect older Lever Actions, especially those chambered in odd/old cartridges. If you have a nice old Winchester or Marlin in 25-20, 32-40, 38-55, 40-60, 45-70, etc etc, please PM me and we can work out a deal.

                      worlds finest trimmer

                      Little Crow Gunworks developed the World's Finest Trimmer as a precision tool that will last a lifetime. One of the unique features is that the WFT uses a source of power that most reloaders already own.

                              I started with the Lee trimmer it is easy cheap and consistent. Then got the Possum Hollow for bulk 223. Went to the Foster Trim Die for 30-06 hunting rounds. I still use the Lee for 30-30 and when I only have a few 223 to trim.
                              If you want change you have to put in your 2 cents, you can't just sit on the sidelines and whine.
