What case trimmer for .338 Lapua?

[280 AI]

Looking to buy a case trimmer for my new .338 Lapua, any suggestion? What length are you guys trimming them to? Rifle is a Sako trg

I use my Forster with the extra long base. Works great.

I use Forster Classic Case Timmer, trim to 2.720". You do have to learn how to ensure that the case head is secured properly by the holder, otherwise you could be cutting non perpendicular to the case axis.

I used my existing Wilson trimmer. I had to relocate some parts to stretch things out enough, but I was able to do the job - just barely.

I used a Wilson, but I never had to stretch anything. Worked fine as it was; maybe a more recent model? If you do decide on the Wilson (and I think it is head and shoulders above the rest) get the Sinclair stand and shark fin hold-down. Makes a world of difference...well, I think so...which may be worth about what it cost you.

I use my RCBS Trim Pro, you just need the correct shell plate holder and calibre specific pilot. Works really well.
