If your just starting out,a hand trimmer made by Hornady or RCBS should do you just fine.If you start doing lots of reloading look at the RCBS power case trimmer.It has a 3-way cutter attachment that trims to length,chamfer's the inside of the case and deburr's the outside all in one step.

I use a Forster hand trimmer. It's a bit tedious but if I just knock out fifty or so every once in a while I seem to be able to keep up with my needs. Everyone I've talked to that owns a Giraud power trimmer seems very happy with it; I just don't see hand trimming as a $400 PITA quite yet.

I have to agree - the Giraud is awesome but I have yet to reach that threshold where it's mandatory. |

The Gracie trimmer is a little cheaper and does the same job but doesn't handle the shavings as well. If you're loading thousands of rounds of ammo trimming gets to be a PITA awfully quick. I've purchased most of the common caliber bushings. I expect the trimmer will outlast me.

Ditto. Works like a champ and it won't cost you an arm and a leg!! |
