Looking at the RCBS and the Hornady Cam lock case trimmers.
What case trimmer are you all using?
Thanks in advance

L.E. Wilson, you won't any trimming speed records but the brass will be uniform and square.
Ride well, shoot straight, and speak the truth.

I have Wilson and RCBS. I like them both but use the RCBS more just because of the 3 way cutting head.
I would like to get a Giraud Trimmer and give it a try. Buddy has one and it is slick and fast
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I have an RCBS and a Wilson. The RCBS is faster, but the result isn't perfectly square. The Wilson makes perfectly square cases for me.

Frankford Arsenal Platinum for large batches, RCBS hand-cranky-thingy for small batches. Frankford Arsenal works just fine for me as well. So much better than the RCBS hand cranky thing.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I have a few of each in RCBS, Lyman, Forster, and Hornady. I wasn’t planning on having so many, but I ended up with a few hand-me-downs over my life and it worked out great, others were impulsive buys. I have a few set up as dedicated trimmers for a few of the guns I use the most. In the future, I will definitely get a power assisted one. I think my favorite is Lyman.

I use the RCBS trimmer with the 3 way cutters have two of these trimmers one that takes the shell holders one that's a universal shell holder and four three-way trimmer setup for the common calibers. I'm about ready to sell all the trimmers I got including these two and buy a new Henderson.

Forster here. I suspect I've used it for 30 years. Set up like huntsman's, adapter and power screwdriver.

I have WFT trimmers for .308 and .30-06 based cases I use the most and they are a huge timesaver. I also have my 40 year old RCBS hand crank setup for the rest.
I'll plan to purchase a Giraud soon.
Too close for irons, switching to scope...

Forster. I’ve got two. One setup for trimming and the other setup for turning necks when needed.
