maybe two years back I bought a Lyman, powered trimmer . it works great .it can however be hard on the fingers . if only there was a way to hold the brass with some type of device that was very easy to use . as it turns out there is and many of us already have it . it just requires a bit of modifying to use on all large size primed brass . it BTW already will hold small rifle primer'ed brass. that tool is the hand held primer tool .myself I have the RCBS handheld primer .in the LR configuration it holds the SR brass with ease. it works with the LEE trimer

for those that dont power trim or use small primer brass there is something of a fix so that the hand primer could still be used . all ya have to do is make the stem longer

I am sorry I was wong about something, the RCBS universal hand priming tool is much easier to use than is the regular one . I also discovered the rod from the regular tool is longer than the rod in the universal . to be using the tool for holding brass use the longer rod .
if anything ya may want to make it shorter .
 
This works well as a case holder. You need this, Lee she'll holders and the handle. They also make an optional power grip to ease tightening and releasing.

 
RCBS just came out with new X-dies they claim will help keep you from having to trim brass after initial trim. Thoughts?

its little different than the LEE .. if it were a race ,,,,,,the modified RCBS priming tool would win
