Preferred method of case trimming.

.....never had that many bullets in one place either! Darn.......

When you open a big box, you know your going to be there awhile.



Probably why we get such different answers when the questions are qualitative vs quantitative. “Quite a bit”, means different things to different people.

For the bulk stuff; .223, 300AAC and 7.62 I use a Giraud Tri-Way in a drill press.

^^^^^ This. Fast and easy.

I used my RCBS hand crank trimmer on exactly one piece of brass before figuring out I didn't want to ruin my wrist and bought a Giraud.

This trimmer has been around a while. I did recently buy a carbide cutter for it. It is powered by me.

That's exactly what I have. Powered by elbow grease! I think it goes pretty quick, and it's consistent.

I even have the same WEN!

I have a RBCS #2 trimmer with universal jaws for odd ball cases, but generally use a Hornady trimmer with a battery drill for lots of .270 Win. and 30.06.

I've used the same Forster case trimmer since the early 1990's.

Totally reliable. Never a problem.

I would love to have that - when I buy "bulk" in .223, usually that means 500 bullets...I'm poor...
I do have a Forster hand trimmer - I use that for .308, since I really load very little in that caliber.
If you want to suffer, use the Lee hand trimmer - I keep that big wooden ball tool around to remind me that it could be a LOT worse...I trimmed many hundreds of 7.62x39mm brass with that thing, and darn near ruined my hands doing it!
