Just getting into handloading of the big 50. I am looking to get a case trimmer, but don't want to spend a king's ransom. What are you guys using? Thanks, JPG

Re: Case Trimmer for the Big 50BMG
This is what I use. It's worked fine for me so far.
http://www.midwayusa.com/product/390841/forster-50-bmg-case-trimmer
I see that one of the reviews states that there is a problem with the case popping out of the holder. I haven't experienced that with mine at all.

This is the same one I used up until I bought a Giraud. I haven't regretted buying the Giraud.

Re: Case Trimmer for the Big 50BMG
I use the lyman 50cal accutrimmer, it's $60 or so but only trims the 50. It works pretty good for my needs, I dont load them by the 100's though!

Re: Case Trimmer for the Big 50BMG
i have the wilson trimmer with the swage , it works pretty good i guess , part of me feels like the swage removes to much material from the pocket. It takes forever to trim brass , i guess its good for accuracy but not for speed. I wouldn't buy the little black stand, easier just to mount it to something else.

Re: Case Trimmer for the Big 50BMG
I started with the Forster and it worked well. Lots of elbow grease and a few thumb blisters though.
Bought a Gracey and haven't looked back, it works great. Fast, accurate and MUCH less work. I've heard really good things about the Giraud as well
