Getting ready to buy a new case trimmer and I've pretty much decided on the Wilson. Just wondering how you folks that have them feel about them. I'll prolly get the deluxe version from Sinclair with all the bells and whistles since that seems like it should cover everything.

Yup your goin' have a great big grin on your face soon.

Anybody else out there own one of these?

I have the Wilson trimmer from Sinclair International. I started with the basic unit on the Sinclair stand and base. I later upgraded the adjustment screw to the Sinclair micrometer screw adjuster. I found the original adjustment screw to be too coarse. I was spending a lot of time trying to adjust precise case lengths. It could do it, but I found it too sensitive to try to turn the screw with a screw driver so I use a foot long steet ruler that fit the slot in the adjustment screw perfectly and was stiff enough to turn the screw with out bending. This long lever adjustment worked good, I could move the adjustmet screw in small amounts due to the foot long radius of the leaver arm.
The micrometer adjustment head I bought for it works much faster and with the calibrations it make repeat adjustments much faster.

I have the case trimmer for Wilson and found pretty much the same thing that greenjoy has said.

What kind of ticks me off though is I also have the neck turner that Wilson "use" to make and have discontinued. I wish I had bought a second one as a spare.

I got my wilson from Midway with the PTG trimmer base. The screws to connect the base to the trimmer are not included. It took me 2 trips to the lowes before I went and got some real screws (nice stainless ones). I went to Smith Fastener in charleston WV and they have a $10 min so now I have 42 of the little critters. To make a long story short...If you need some drop me a line and and I'll send some to you free-o-charge. I dont have any other use for them.

You will be very happy with your selection. I have a Wilson I bought over 40 years ago and I have always been happy with it. A few years ago I bought a new trimmer blade because they don't sharpen the old ones any more - it was reasonably priced.

High quality, precise, and enjoyable to use, which is the case for me with quality tools. You do need a case holder for each parent case family, and for many, a fired and unfired holder. This is a bit of a pain, but adds to the precision I suppose. I haven't spent any time noodling on a universal case holder setup for the Wilson, but that would be nice.....

I've found if you run the cutter with a handheld screwdriver you have to push really hard, not so much when hand-cranking it IME....

You should be very pleased.

i can't speak for the wilson, but i've been very satisfied with lee's trimmer.

it's at least worth consideration, if you haven't already.

I've owned a Wilson trimmer for years. Great tool, and easy to use.
