[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1826971, member: 9308"] [USER=75397]@IHFarmer07[/USER] you make a great point. This is my biggest "gripe" with the high speed trimmers. Fast? Yes! Convenient? Absolutely! And if all the brass is yours, fired only in your rifle, then I think they work great. But...when you start picking up brass, sizing various brass, preparing factory fresh brass, pretty soon you have over-all 'trimmed' lengths all over the place. If you are just doing a 'friction' fit (no crimp) then probably no harm or foul as things will be 'close enough' for your purposes. Totally agree [USER=26227]@freddiej[/USER] ! If you want every case to be EXACTLY the same LENGTH, the Lee trim system is the way to go. You can chuck the case holder in an electric drill and make pretty quick progress. Not Frankford Arsenal or Little Crow fast, but you are getting more CONSISTENCY, and the over-all trimmed lengths for all your brass will match exactly. If you crimp, this is priceless.
