I believe I have three collets, and of course one pilot per caliber. I also have a reamer for it. I forget what I got it for.

Yes, I corrected my post....I said 2....I meant 3. My original had three with it....and that all I've ever needed.....for me anyway.

Ditto Archangels post......I would hate to be without it.

I added my less-than-professional video of my vertical motorized incarnation in my original post......When I got old I got a progressive press.....it soon made me want a faster way to trim......Forster was way ahead of my needs with the drill adaptor, and 3-way carbide trimmer heads.......Love it even more.

As for reamers, here is a link to the reamer instructions. Notice the "exception" where you ream after sizing........for example my .22-.243 Wildcat is made with .243 cartridges necked down to .22. Ordinarily, that would make the necks too thick.....so a wildcat reamer as described in the instructions would thin the necks for just the right amount of neck expansion when seating bullets......so as not to make the resulting necks too tight for the chamber.

(My gunsmith made my .22-243 chamber a little wider at the neck to compensate for the extra thickness, so I didn't have to use the reamer afterall.)
