Case Trimmer Recommendations?

[srvgtrfan]

Just now getting into reloading and I now have everything I need for .40 S&W, except for a case trimmer. There are quite a few options out there and I would prefer to keep it under $100 if possible. Any suggestions on a reliable case trimmer for the price or less? I will be running a single stage press so speed probably isn't going to be a factor here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Trimming is for rifles silly rabbit (from the Trix cereal commercial lol)

Nice. Thanks for the info. Figured it doesn't matter for a revolver but would be important for semi auto .40. Thanks again!

Actually it does matter for revolvers with magnum loads where a roll crimp is required to prevent bullets backing out under heavy recoil. Case length is very important when applying a roll crimp.

Semi-autos do not have this requirement.

Perfect! Thanks much. Maybe I can put that money to a set of 9mm dies then.

Exactly!
Buy them carbide dies and call it a day!
