What do you not like about the Wilson?
Cons:
1. It requires different shell holders for each cartridge.
2. I can't seem to get it adjusted to reliably trim each case to the same length.
3. It is small and very narrow with no way to mount it to a bench. Very difficult to use in your hands. I think you're supposed to mount it in a bench vise... which I don't have. Like most people, I like to trim in front of the TV. With the Redding, I can mount it securely on a 1x12, and carry it where I want.
4. It didn't come with any instructions on how it should be used... and yes, I bought it new from Midway... It just came with an advertisement on why you should "Trim, Ream, Gauge"
5. If you want to trim handgun cases, forget it. You have to tap the cases into and out of the shellholder. Most people don't do this anyway, so it doesn't matter for them.
6. There are some cartridges that have two different shellholders: one for unfired cases and one for fired cases.
7. They don't make shellholders for every cartridge. The .284 Winchester shellholder
mostly works for 7.5 x 55 Swiss, but not entirely.
Pros:
1. It is really well built. You can tell that a lot of craftsmanship went into the trimmer and the shellholders. Everything is nice and solid.
2. It is inexpensive. I paid like $25 for it. The shellholders are like $6 each, and are really works of art, so I guess I should complain about them either.
3. Did I mention that it is really well built? I mean that sincerely.
