RCBS Case Trimmer
« on: June 22, 2009, 11:25:17 AM »
Has anyone in here used the RCBS Case trimmer with the power attachment?  I think those look like a good setup but want some first hand advice.  Thanks.

I have one, i bought the manual trimmer at first and then got the power attachment later.  it does exactly what it's supposed to, and does it well.  be sure you get the three way cutter for your calibers as it trims, champfers, and deburrs all at once.  ;)

Had Don M turn me a little adapter and run my RCBS with a 3/8 drill motor. Works great and it's much easier on the arm than the hand crank.  What happened to your Forrester trimmer that you bought at that garage sale years ago?

Still have it and it works fine but it takes for ever to process brass.  In addition to doing my own I am now doing it for the office cuz apperently no one else gives a good G.D.  I figured if I got the RCBS with a 3-way it would save a lot of steps.

They can't even buy a GD small base die for 223 or enough mags for everyone to train with or use on duty.  Besides I was thinking of getting one anyway.
