Since I started reloading, I have been using the Lee case trimmers for all the trimming that I have been doing. Problem: after trimming ~150 .308 cases, I had quite a few nice blisters on my fingers. Ouch.
Anyway, I started reloading 22 Hornet amunition, and the case length gage won't fit into the case after it has been sized, so obviously, that won't work to trim cases (winchester brass, new and unprimed). The projectiles still seat just fine (dummy round, no primer or powder, used to set up the dies and make sure OAL will fit my TC Contender; everything is good on that end). Also, even if I can get the Lee case trimmer in the case, it's going to mean more blisters, not good.
So hear is the deal: I am thinking of getting a bench mounted case trimmer, and I currently have a Lyman on hold for me at the LGS. Product bias aside, is this a good trimmer to go with? The kit comes with 9 "of the most common" pilots, and is able to be adapted to electric power.
