Trimmer for Precision Rounds

[treillw]

What's an accurate way to trim brass for precision? I only have a few batches of 100 pieces of brass for precision rifles that I would be interested in trimming this way.

I don't care if I have to chamfer and deburr manually for these small quantities.

Don't want to spend $400 on something to trim 300 pieces of brass.

Trimming accuracy and reasonable cost are my primary concerns.

Thanks!

I actually use the Henderson Powered Precision Case Trimmer ... and it's amazing ... but clearly that's not what you're looking for. Any one of the trimmers from Redding, RCBS, Lyman, etc. would be fine for small volumes and occasional use.

I hate to constantly have to reset trimmers for different cartridges, so now I just get a different WTF Trimmer from Little Crow Gunworks for each cartridge I load. I set each once and then forget it. It's as simple as chucking in a hand drill and trim away.

Due to the design of this trimmer, the WFT ONLY works on "bottleneck" cartridges up to .338 Caliber. Pistol and "Straightwall" case trimmers are NOT available. Please review our Trimmer Cross Reference Chart to determine which trimmer will suit your needs.

If you're only talking about 1 or even 2 calibers/cartridges, you might want to take a close look at the Trim-It II. The one use for my 6.5 PRC gives me very consistent trimming. Note, that it indexes off the shoulder, so having consistent shoulder bumps is a key factor.

Nothing commercially available is better than the Sinclair LE Wilson trimmer.

I use the LE Wilson trimmer as well, but I modified it to use the Forster 3n1 trimmer head.

Worlds Finest Trimmer plus your drill of choice.

I like the LE Wilson also but check out the Lee case trimmer.

You need to also get the cutter and case holder part of the tool. These work amazingly well.

This is not appropriate - you need the cordless one.

For my 300 and 6 BRA, I use the Forster trimmer with the 3-way head that trims and chamfers all at once.
