Post by knockonit »

Who uses what, i've a dillon press unit, but the dies are hard to come by, in fact a member loaned me one to use till one shows up


have the old school crankers, good units for sure,

thinking maybe Giraud prep unit but they are like months out, so the tri way trimmer looks to be a winner is also a couple others out there that are similar

what say u, what cha using

I have a Giraud and use it for 223, 308, 300BO, and 30 Carbine. Also have a WFT for 300BO, but haven't tried it. For all the other stuff I have a Lyman crank.

I’ve used the Lee piece above on god knows how many .223 cases with good results. It is a bit archaic compared to the others, but for the price it definitely does the job.

Should have mentioned that I also have the Lee. I use it with my RCBS Prep Center and parts from a Hornady Cam-Lock trimmer.

I use the Wilson crank style. Definitely a bit of a chore when I did 1000 cases, though each was identical.
