[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1687831, member: 307"] I started with the Lee trimmers 25-30 yrs ago and still have several case length gauges but haven't used them in years. Matter of fact, I have a 44 SPC gauge on my reloading desk as I type. Then I found a Forster bench mounted type, maybe Forster made, but it's marked as the "Texan Loader" and used it for years. Only problem, which I recently discovered, is #2 collette (?) that holds the cartridge case head clamps down after several cases and won't let the next case go all the way end and I end up over trimming a case. ****es me off to no end! Especially if it's a Lapua case. Those are "gold" in my mind. LOL. I purchased the Frankford Arsenal station and use it for mostly everything, 6.5-284, .270AM, .308Win and .300WinMag. For my 6mmBR I had to resort back to the Texan, as the case is so short seems it would be too hard to hold while you're trimming. I haven't physically tried it but just looking at the case and trimmer on the F.A. it doesn't seem likely. I have looked at the WFT and think that would be a great option, I just haven't bit the bullet. [/QUOTE]
