There is a specific case holder for it. Because of the case geometry, there are two case holders. One for new brass and one for fired brass. Most people buy the fired case holder as they wait to trim after the first firing. Bill Stephen,

I just would like to see them add inside case neck reamers to their product. Their new "chuck lock" on the Model 2400 was a nice add. By the way, that was me that accidently omitted it. Bill Wade,

We think they make some pretty good products as well. We just haven't used their trimmers very much so didn't feel like we could comment on them very intelligently. Larry,

Seems nobody has much good to say about them, but I have used their stuff and it seems very good. What about Lee?

With stock blade its a hit and miss operation that took forever to set up. Bob Jones carbide cutter takes about 3 or 4 minutes to set up.

I hope this last one does it. Thanks I truly enjoyed the great primer on case trimmers. Nuts like me who own most all of the trimmers you describe always get a kick out of comparing the opinions of the experts to those of our own. Your article was spot on and would give anyone looking for a trimmer the information needed to make a choice that would surely meet their needs. I was a little baffled, however, at the end of your article when the list of recommended trimmers - following your first place Wilson - didn’t include the Redding. Please tell me it was only an omission and someone will be punished! Wade Johnson Billings, Montana Mr. Moderator – I made three attempts at this note trying to correct my spelling errors.

I've personally used Forster trimmer(s) for around 20 years & have been very pleased with them. I've been "eyeballing" Wilsons, and may give one a "go". I have particular interest in the available micrometer feature. Well written, unbiased and objective article.
