[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1649527, member: 9308"] I've used the Forster case trimmer and the Lyman case trimmers (with appropriate caliber pilots) and they frustrate the hell out of me. It seems no matter how tight I set the screw to hold a certain trim length, they invariably start cutting cases shorter and shorter. I'm sure it's "me" but I gave up on THAT method. For me, I now like the [SIZE=4][B]Lee Case Trimmer Cutter and Lock Stud[/B] setup. [ATTACH=full]137070[/ATTACH] I own one for each cartridge I reload for (they are cheap; about $7) and I just chuck it up in my cordless drill and trim every deprimed case to EXACTLY THE SAME LENGTH every time. It works for me. You buy the CUTTER & LOCK STUD [B][U]once[/U][/B] and use these two parts over and over: [ATTACH=full]137071[/ATTACH] Then you buy the shellholder and case length gauge for each cartridge you'll be reloading: [ATTACH=full]137072[/ATTACH] Since this is a LONG RANGE forum, many folks on here are long range target shooters and like to let their cases 'grow' a bit, so the LEE system isn't for them. But since you aren't doing the long range target 'thing', the LEE system could be just the ticket for you. I've used it for years and really like the simplicity and consistency.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
