And where do we order one of these from? It looks pretty awesome. Not like the others with a drill and a shellholder. And is it easy to change calibers?

Ok, I just called Mr. Giraud and got on the waiting list. I am a little bummed though, I wanted to order a Star sizer next, but will have to put it off. How often do we need to trim rifle cases, after every size?

About every 2 or 3 firings.

Every 2 - 3 as long as you aren't overworking them with the sizer die. the clue that you're overworking them with the sizer die is having to trim every time.

The base of that trimmer would look a lot nicer in Dillon Blue instead of machinery gray.

It'd set off that gold anodizing real purty like !

I am working with a Lyman power trimmer.
It isok for my needs but probably not for extensive use .

Good info, thanks. I have some Federal 308 cases to start with. I was told these have a little thicker case and hold up to more reloads. :confused:
