[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2892339, member: 116181"] Had it. Hated it. Returned it. ^^^ X2 LCG WFT for bulk stuff. It's a set it once, never have an issue in an AR again kind of tool. I use LE Wilson for precision stuff because I don't trim often, if I was then a Giraud is top-shelf. I would tell you to get a Hornady case trimmer before the FA, at least the adjustments on it were easy and somewhat precise. I actually still keep mine in a box of range loading equipment just in case I ever need to trim on the bench. Big Red survived when FA didn't. I seem to recall mine coming with a bunch of pilots (all the ones I needed maybe) and the case holder is the same as the die set. I have an old RCBS 5-station case prep center thingy for rotating non-trimming work (primer pockets, light crimp cuts, chamfer/deburr), and it's been fine. Loud and sounds like the bearings are eating each other but it keeps on turning. I think they call it a Trim Mate even though it doesn't actually trim brass. [/QUOTE]
