I am considering getting a real power trimmer, since I have a nice batch of 223 brass to trim. And the little manual one will take me forever to get 1000 cases done. So, I've been looking at either the Dillon trimmer which mounts on a press (so I could FL resize and then trim on my Hornady LNL AP) or the Giraud trimmer, which also comes highly recommended.
So, for making up large batches of brass (say a few thousand, so the savings "pays" for the tool as opposed to just buying new brass in the first place!) which solution is best? I am using (and hoping to successfully continue to use) the RCBS X-die, which so far has kept the case at 1.740, maybe 1.741 after the first firing after being trimmed and resized in the die, so hopefully it will work properly.
So, I only (hopefully) need to trim these cases once, but there are quite a few of them!
What do people recommend, and why?
