3-n-1 Case Trimmer Suggestions

[6xcKY]

I'm currently only loading one caliber right now, 6mm creed. At most, I might shoot 100 rounds a month, probably less, so the way I see it, I don't need a $500 Giraud set up or something similar considering my round count even during the summer.

I have looked at the Giraud Tri Way, but it isn't offered in 6 Creed, and I am having trouble finding a good set up.

Anyone ever used the Forster powdered trimmer with the attachment? What other options do I have?

Worst case scenario I will just have to get a RCBS case prep center and a regular trimmer but I'd like to save desk space as well.

Trim it 2

I've seen that advertised, but almost every review was talking about how inconsistent they are, cases are extremely likely to stick inside the cutter and hard to pull out, and wobbles worse than a Jeep Wrangler on 37's.

You had good luck with one?

No, I use a giraud table top ?

I use a Trim It 2 for 5.56. Never had an issue with it.

Maybe the Frankfort arsenal or the new Lyman? I have no experience with either, but I’m also looking for a 3-1 without having to go giraud

Care to expand on that thought for those of us without first hand experience?

I'll preface this by saying I use a Giraud, but I have a friend who has one of these and he reports good results. It just trims, so you'll have to chamfer and debur

I have one of these. They work just like the WFT, same concept. The only issue I dislike about these is they do not have a bearing for the shell to load into. The necks and shoulders will get scored and scratched up by the delrin.

Endless hours spent trying to get it to chamfer evenly. The manufacturer swapped it out and I asked that they check my replacement before shipping. That didn’t happen and I sold the replacement without attempting to get it to work. If you google for similar results to that of mine you’ll find some.

The manufacturer did send replacement ASAP so kudos to them for that

And you ruled out that it was inconsistencies in the neck thickness causing the issue? Aka it’s cutting evenly but the thing being cut is bad to start with.

I also quickly returned the trim it 2. Didn't cut consistently and took too much time to adjust. Also very temperamental on applying hand pressure to the cartridge.

That is correct. Twice necked turned.
