I have had my original Forster trimmer for well over 40 years and still going strong. I did have to get a new cutter for it a few years ago. I am sure that there are several good ones out there but never felt the need to look for another one.

Ian - I'm waiting on my Forster trimmer at the moment. Ordered it through Sinclair International from advice on this forum - everyone that has one praises them and they're well priced.

Don't forget to order a #1 collet and .20 cal pilot too.
I also ordered the sinclair chamber length gauge so I know how long the cases can stretch before I trim again.

Good luck - and be careful - there are many toys on their site that are tempting to buy

Yes fella, that the one.

Steve.

Ian,

We stock the Forster original trimmer as well as the Redding 1400 trimmer. The forster original kit we carry has all the pilots and collets for the common cartridges, you would only need to add a #20 pilot (we have this in stock as well) for the 20 calibers and you would be all set. Here is a link to the webpage:
