Case trimmer

Post by 53eldorado »

Just starting into reloading and doing it on a shoestring budget. Has anyone used the Lyman E Zee trim case trimming system?
I have to go low budget here but won't if it is no good. Thanks.

From what I've heard from others, I'd avoid the EZ trimmer....cheap, light duty.

Spend a few more bucks and get a quality trimmer that will last you forever. I've had my Forester trimmer since purchased new in 1972, and it's still going strong. I even use it to neck turn cases with the proper attachment......a very good product and worth every penny. :D

I too, am a fan of the Wilson/Sinclair system. You can make your own stand and retainer to save a few bucks. FWIW, I would not be afraid of buying a used trimmer for a fair price. Cutters can be sharpened and/or replaced. I would look at Wilson, Forster and Redding. Best of luck, I understand all too well what budgets can be like. Just remember, disappointment will last as long as you own something that fails to live up to your expectations.

I am not planning to do large volume but I can keep looking. How about the Lee Quick trim that works in the press?
