Can you recommend a current good, motorized case trimmer? I'm ready to make a step up from the Hornady / Lyman universal....

Thank you
 
Do any of the 3-n-1 trimmers let you bias the cut to cut more ID or more OD? I have the new Hornady. It is pretty good. I also have the Trim-It II and the LE Wilson. I prefer th Hornady, but wish there was some kind of easy adjust cutter head.

Not bad, just not perfect. It also has a more limited number cases because the collets are only small, PPC, std, mag sizes. 30-30 and several others left out. Similar on pilot side.

I know the Henderson does. I have made some similiar adjustments myself when I use a flat based bullet

Weird, I just got a Hornady Speed trimmer and collet B fits a 303B rimmed case. They're bigger dia than 30-30.
 
RCBS Matchmaster is what I would recommend. Buy a couple extra heads so you can set them up for each caliber. Keep a record of your settings on the micro dial and rock on. Very easy to set up and use. I used to only trim when I must, but now every piece of brass gets run through. Hopefully, they will come out with options for 338 and up calibers, but right now can only go up to 30 cal unless something has changed since I last looked.
 
Giraud Tool, easy to use and extremely fast. I can trim 50 cases in 10-15 minutes. Bought my first one 20 years ago and just purchased my 6th and 7th. They are easy to change over but I'm typically pressed for time and work with 3 or 4 calibers at a time so I leave mine setup for a specific caliber.

Giraud(s) here too. I have a few. Already been said but it's pretty easy to swap calibers. The calibers I load the most of have a dedicated trimmer.
