[QUOTE="Ronin, post: 114202, member: 4201"] [ QUOTE ] I am in need of upgrading my reloading equipment, but before getting into unnecessary stuff and expenses, would apreciate the member´s input on the following: - trimming: currently using a hornady trimmer; thinking about the Wilson, already asked about it once and everyone recommended it, although is it worth buying a new one? <font color="blue">I use the Wilson trimmer for all my calibres, very precise, easy to ajust and am about to justify to myself the micrometer atachment. This system cuts the neck at exactly 90 degrees to the case, holds the case securly when trimming is taking place and is very well made.
