[QUOTE="BigJakeJ1s, post: 239530, member: 12889"] One of my Lee pilot/gauges is too large in diameter to fit into a sized case neck without forcing it. Accurate? For rifle cartridges, I switched to the Wilson. There is a set screw to lock the depth adjustment which prevents a rotating case/holder from "adjusting" it for you. The case holder is even easier to use than the Lee, especially if trimming with power (the Wilson cutter, not the case holder, can be powered). The Lee is not adjustable, and is not as accurate as the Wilson (there is a lot more play in the primer hole than anywhere in the Wilson trimmer). There is no complicated sequence to mounting the case/holder on the Wilson like there is with trimmers that also require a neck pilot. And since there is no snug fitting pilot rubbing inside the case neck, the Wilson cutter is easier to spin. That said, for pistol cartridges, especially rimless ones, the Lee is easier to use than the Wilson (when/if you even need to trim). Andy [/QUOTE]
