I need a manual case trimmer that will handle .223 through 416 Rigby & 470NE.

Which one is the best?

Thanks

MHC,

I've got an old Forester that has served me well for years. I find though, I use it less & less. While I'm not sure, I have my doubts if it would be large enough to accomodate a .416 Rigby or a 470NE.

I've become a big fan of the inexpensive Lee Hand-Held Case Trimmers, especially since they work so well with either a Drill Press, Drill or battery-powered Screwdriver. The nice part about these little jewels is that Lee also takes custom orders on these items.

Good Luck in your Quest.

L.E. Wilson trimmer.

...another vote for L.E. Wilson.

I ordered the Wilson today. It will handle everything up to and including the 416 Rigby. However, it won't work for the 470NE, so I will order a RCBS case trimming die for it.

Thanks for the help.

Forster Classic trimmer will do your 416 Rigby as well as your 470. It will do more than that.

I have a new Forster classic with the 474 pilot for sale in the classifieds.

I use a Lyman trimmer for my 416 Rigby and 470 NE. Does a decent job, but still prefer my Forster for everything else.

Been using trim dies lately (375 H&H, 300 SAUM), found them on Gunbroker pretty cheap, pretty quick and precise.

It will handle a 470 if you remove the cutter bushing and drill a new hole in the base and move the bushing closer to the end of the base.
