Forester is highly recommended. This^^^^ Simple design has been working for decades. Get to power adapter and a cheap cordless screwdriver and your GTG.

I’ve used a RCBS manual one with no issues. That’s what I have. Same here. With mine in 5.56/.223 if you size the case first it won't fit on the stem of the collet to trim. I set my trimmer for this caliber at a depth to trim that allows for stretching when sized after trimming that is still below maximum case length. I run them all through the trimmer to the same length, then size them. The differences between cases after sizing is minimal and in anything I've ever fired them in have worked fine. If I was doing precision ammo I'd do it differently but for ARs and the one bolt gun I have in that caliber it does OK.

I've got a Little Crow in .223 I've had for a few years. It's great for doing one thing: large amounts of .223/5.56. I've only used the RCBS Trim pro. It works well for doing small batches, 20-50 at a time. Anything more than that and I'd want a power unit. They make a "conversion" of sort. Essentially an allen head screw with a rounded head allen wrench that fits in the drill. Reviews are OK, but most say it wears out and strips the head after a few thousand pieces. I am looking at making one with a short piece of rubber hose as a drive coupler to a drill. The standalone power attachment is too rich for my blood. Forster also makes a 3 way trimmer attachment for their case trimmer which is caliber specific. Trim chamfer and deburr at the same time. I have bought one for trimming 223 brass but have not used it yet. I prefer to use a VLD chamfer on most of my cases.

I have seen the Little Crow trimmers, but I reload way too many different calibers to invest in one of those for each. Does it have multi-caliber capability? I see Lyman has a similar set up with variable bushings for different casings, but reviews seem to be mixed.
Also came across the Lee Quick Trim system that looks interesting. Wondering if anyone has tried that? I have multiple calibers too, but I think I am going to get one for 308 and 7-08 if they offer one go from there. The way I look at it is my having to set up my hornady one, and then have to keep tinkering with it to keep it adjusted takes up enough of my time that the 70 bucks the LCT costs worth it. Instead of spending an hour I can spend 5 minutes. Especially when you have a case with a crimp you need to take out, the prep time just to get it loadable is pretty high.
