Decent low cost manual case trimmer?

[Jimi Jah]

Looking for a manual case trimmer just for .223. Not a hand held job, got that and it's tiring. I don't want to spend $$$ on a electric motor version, just something with a hand crank would do fine.

I have dies for .223, 30-06 and 9mm makarov. once you buy the trimmer, you can buy the dies as you acquire more cartridges.

I got this, and love it so far:

CTS Trimmer

Chuck it in a drill and trim away.

I found a Forster on eBay for 25 bucks. Came with the 223 pilot. I then attached my black and decker cordless drill to it. Works ****en good. Waiting on my giraud

RCBS,Lyman etc sell them Later if you want you can buy the motor/adapter for them. They are just hand cranked. So people will replace the crank with a bolt and cordless drill.

OK Bumslie...then why were you using a Lyman at the clinic?

Does that Lee quick trim work well? Is it quick, easy, ergonomic? Because I was wowed by the Lee "Zip Trim" for the first 50 cases I trimmed...but I learned to hate it pretty quickly and got a lathe trimmer... That trimmer looks like it would be awkward, turning it from above...

Wilson is the most accurate and simple. You can upgrade to electric if you want.

I use a Wilson manual trimmer. I've had it for 25 years and I don't remember how much it cost, but it is a quality tool and well worth what I paid for it.

Personally, when trimming .223 by the bucket full, I really prefer the Possum Hollow mounted in my drill press.

I haven't tried one with a hand drill, so I can't speak to how that works.

The Deluxe Quick Trim will also chamfer and debur while triming. One and done. I actually got one for the V.C. Chapter, but I haven't really played around with it.

I am intrigued...test it out and tell us how it goes. For the price, if it's quick and easy I'd consider it for .223 (really the only rifle load I seem to load in batches over 100 at a time). Chamfer and debur is my least favorite part of reloading, so if I can cut that step out I'm in.

Shoot me your address. I'll let you borrow 223 and 9mm mak
