Currently I'm using a WFT for 5.56. I'm not happy with the tolerances it trims to.

Is there anything else that does a better job, just as quickly, besides a Giraud?

Not sure on a motorized version but I've seen a Wilson in action and it's dead nuts on every case. It's a manual trimmer but crazy sharp which helps.

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I use a Forster trimmer. I don't have it but they make a power screwdriver adapter for these trimmers.

I use a Forster too with and without the power adapter and I also use individual inside and outside deburring tool bases.

I know there are better units out there for volume but I think the Forster tools are a good balance between speed and accuracy if you also want precision. Meaning you can swap back to manual easily.

It is what I use most of the time. I've got a Sinclair I'll use for benchrest ammo sometimes.

Forster products are my favorite reloading tools in general. I think their FL sizing dies are the best available. Unfortunately, they do not make dies for some of the odd cartridges I shoot.

The trimer is simple, accurate and quick to use and I keep telling myself to get the power adapter.

Forster trimmer has worked well for years.

It looks like that one measures the whole case. Is that correct?

The WFT indexes off the shoulder. That's part of my issue.
