I sure do like my World's Finest Trimmer(s). Neck sizing and minimally bumping the shoulders as needed keeps case stretching and the need for trimming down to a minimum, but like a colonoscopy, there comes a time when you need to get it done no matter what.
Set it with an untrimmed case, check it with calipers and use those to adjust it the necessary amount and chuck it up in a drill. Zip zap, about 3-4 seconds per case and a little over 5 minutes and 100 cases later you're done. All cases trimmed to about .001" tolerance.
Have owned a motorized Lyman trimmer since the mid-80's and it's still useful for the one-off types of cases that don't really warrant a separate trimmer, but for the '06/.223/.308 based cases where I have at least 2-4 members of each family that WFT is the cat's meow.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.

I was lookin hard at those last year and was all set to take the plunge when I had a chance to pick up a lightly used RCBS Trim Pro power trimmer for a song. I like it but it takes a while for me to get it set for the length I want. That WFT system looks like a real innovative, easy to use system that would be both quicker and easier.

I know exactly what your talking about.Case prep can be a pain.I bought a Frankford Arsenal Trim and prep center a few years ago,it really changed my world.It trims,deburrs,chamfers and cleans the primer pockets all in one tool.Anything that makes case prep easier is a big plus to the reloader.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............

Yes the WFT is a great tool. I got one several years ago for my bulk .223 loading and it has saved tons of time.
