Hi folks,
I'm working on expanding my setup to include rifler reloading in addition to pistol (and 12 ga). Before I can get started, I'm going to need to get myself a case trimmer. I've read lots of reviews, but everybody seems pretty happy with all of them, except for a handful of bad reviews for each of them. Are there any that stand apart from the rest, or any I should avoid?
For absolutely no reason at all other than brand familiarity, I'm looking at the Hornady Cam lock Trimmer. I've been happy with my LNL AP and Hornady dies, and figure it can't hurt to have Hornady shell holders around as well in case I pick up a single stage press at some point. Looks like this model has a power adapter for a drill available as well.
As far as usage goes, I'm not really a hunter so I don't have much need/use for full size rifle cartridges (though things have a way of changing). I'll initially really only be trimming 5.56 (and possibly the odd pistol case I suppose). Being a WWII history buff I plan on hopefully adding .30 carbine some day as well. I wouldn't rule out 30-30 or 30-06 either (lever gun and/or M1 Garand).
Anybody have any suggestions on other models I should take a look at or avoid?
Thanks very much!!!
