I have 2 lyman case trimmers and I cant get my cases cut very concentric. A lyman universal and a lyman acculine. Is there a better trimmer or any tips to help me use these better?
Thanks

Re: Having case trimming issues
I also have the Universal but some may say it's not one of the top choices but none of the equipment I use is top shelf stuff. When you put your case into the collet and you slide the cutter into the mouth do you hold pressure against it while you tighten the collet? That helps align it a bit better sometimes. I've not had any problems that I can tell with using mine but I'm sure there are better ones out there. I'm still finding that there are other factors that affect group size more than what a better trimmer would do with the type of gun I shoot.

Never used the Lymann but I've got a Hornady that works great. If you are looking to replace/upgrade your current unit I'd look at either the hornady or redding.
