I have two of them, one is permanently mounted on a 550B for 223 brass. I have a size deprime die in station one, the trimmer in station two, and a die body with an expander in station three. My Dillon 1200B die for 223 leaves the case mouth too small in diameter, that's why I have the expander in station 3. Between my family and I, we shoot several thousand 223s a year, and that justifies the setup, just due to the amount of time it takes for trimming and prep work. The other 1200B is mounted on a Rock Chucker single stage press, and I currently have 8 different dies for it. Most of my trimming on small quantities is done with the little Lee trimmer and a cordless drill. I also have the RCBS motorized trimmer and case prep station, and I will use it for medium quantity batches. Unless you are going to be doing large quantities, a manual trimmer is just fine. I also have the Forster trimmer which I use mostly for neck reaming or turning, and I also have the old Lyman universal trimmer, but it is the one I take camping for loading in the field.</p></blockquote><p></p>
