[QUOTE="Rardoin, post: 2058513, member: 114954"] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ my sentiments also^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I have used many trimmers over 25+ years. All, save one, have indexed off the case head. The most precise, by a very small and insignificant margin, has been the Wilson trimmer. My currently used trimmer has been the Giraud and has been so for over 4 years. Most of my shooting these days is long range score shooting and only the smallest shooting rifles will win consistently. My loads with the Wilson were no more precise than the loads using cases trimmed with the shoulder indexing Giraud. Most of the competitors I shoot with that win on a regular basis (regional, state, national events) also use a Giraud. I would say with certainty that if I trimmed 10 cases with each trimmer the Wilson trimmed cases would have less variation but it cannot be seen on target. My benchrest buddies find the same. The take away is use the system that suits your budget and speed requirements; most any system will give the precision required for properly trimmed necks. [/QUOTE]
