There's probably much to what you say--I've trimmed cases thousnds of times with the little Lee outfit, both by sheer hand power and with the shell holder chucked up in a hand drill. I still have the Lee hardware for .257, .308., .30-06, and .30-30. The same electric drill then went to powering a Forster trimmer, which saved a lot of time and finger fatigue.
Now, though, I want to just run the cases around the Dillon shell plate, without having to tighten up that doggone collet every time. I'll still have to do it some, because I really can't afford to buy the Dillon trim dies for ALL the different centerfire rifle cases I need (okay, WANT) to load.
Best,
Johnny
