I use the El cheapo Lee trimmer with case length gauges and shell holder for each caliber, chuck it in my drill, and I don't even see a full thou variance with this trimmer with any caliber, and I use it for all of them. I have the carbide cutter, and haven't had to replace it in like 25 years, which was when I swapped to a carbide. I have no idea how many cases I've trimmed with that single cutter, but if I had to guess, I would say probably some where between 30k and 50k. I wore out one of my single stages presses since I got that cutter, but not the cutter, or any of the case length gauges.
Honestly, if my trimmer was producing anything more than a couple thou variance, it would go in the trash can.
