Brass trimmer recommendations

Teekerguy · Dec 8, 2024

Looking at purchasing a new trimming unit. Im aware of the high dollar ones but not sure if I wanna drop that kind of cheddar. I've seen little crow and a couple other ones that don't brake the bank. Love to hear everyone's experiences and recommendations. Thanks

Manual operation or electric, and how many different cartridges?

FYSA, here's my initial review of the FA. Are you just looking for a case trimmer or prep center/unit?

I got the Frankfort arsenal case prep center and it does a good job and work on all cartridges.

I went with the Hornady, mostly because I found a smoking deal on one. It already comes with multipe bushings for most calibers. I think I only had to buy one additional bushing for the many different calibers I load for. Adjustments are easy. Electric is so much faster and less tedious than manually doing it. The unit has worked very well for the past four years.

I just ordered the Frankford Arsenal drill unit. Multi caliber and you Chuck it in a drill. Was $59 on sale at MidSouth Shooters.

I've got a WFT I use for my 7mm Rem Mag. And a Lyman trimmer that I use with my cordless drill. It takes seeing up everyone I change cartridges but that is easy and it does a great job. I don't load in large quantities much, usually only a couple hundred at a time after I find my load for a particular rifle.

This is what I use as well, but I only reload in small batches 100 rounds at a time max.

I've owned the little crow ones, also had the Redding trimmer.. in the end, I purchased the Henderson trimmer and it changed l everything. It's worth every penny. It's such a time saver and does 3 jobs in one pass… Buy once cry once.

That appears to be the exact trimmer unit in the FA prep center. FA's decision to offer it separately is smart.

I have one of those and pleased with it.
If you go with one of these get on Amazon and order the replacement cutter. You can -2- for the price of one versus ordering from whomever you buy the trimmer from. HTH
