Hand Trimmer for .338LM?

[Dogtown]

Gents, what do you recommend for a simple hand trimmer for .338LM? I need to trim about 120 cases and I recently sold my reloading gear, so I no longer have my Giraud. My good friend offered me access to his gear, but I don't think he has a trimmer that can handle a magnum caliber.

I'm looking for any advice before biting the bullet on a Wilson Classic or Universal. Thanks.

Dogtown I have a sinclair wilson micrometer trimmer I don't use anymore if you want to borrow it, I have the 338 holder for it.

I appreciate the offer, CK. Would you be willing to sell it instead? I want to get my buddy setup to do .338LM anyway so I'm looking at getting the dies and a trimmer - that would definitely be a nice shortcut.

I use the Lyman Universal with power bar adapter for trimming my 338LM cases. I did have to grind down the .35 cal pilot to fit the 338 mouth, but that wasn't a biggie and I can use my 18v drill to bang them out.
