I am currently using the Lee Zip Trim and sometimes I will just use my cordless drill and use the Lee chuck. I am "ok" with that for now I guess but always thinking of ways to speed my prep up. Would upgrading the Hornady Trimmer for $50 (used) be a good decision or should I just keep saving for something a little better? I appreciate your thoughts on the Hornady Trimmer.

Re: Hornady Case Trimmer?
google Worlds Finest Trimmer.
ETA: I like to use it with the sinclair drill chuck case holder.

Re: Hornady Case Trimmer?
Thinking about continuing to use the Lee Trimmers I already have and buying an RCBS Chargemaster. What do you guys think?

Re: Hornady Case Trimmer?
I have no experience with the hornady trimmer but I do with the chargemaster and I think it is well worth the money. Some people complain because it is not fast enough but that doesn't really bother me. Also adding a piece of straw in the end of the tube is a major help to keep the powder from clumping up before it drops out. One lesson I learned the hard way is not make sure that you empty the powder after you are done because some powders can corrode the plastic hopper.

Re: Hornady Case Trimmer?
The Hornady works well, especially if you take the time to adjust the micrometer correctly, but it makes changing caliber lengths a pain if you need to do it more than twice/week.
They could have made it more user-friendly.

Re: Hornady Case Trimmer?
I have the Crow Gunworks case trimmer (goes in your drill also). Work well and is way less expensive than the Giraud, which I understand to be the gold standard. I had both the RCBS Chargemaster and the Hornady Autocharge and returned the Hornady. The RCBS unit is far superior IMO. I had constant overcharge with the Hornady.
