I was wondering if anyone had an opinion as to the best power case trimmer on the market. I have a RCBS manual trimmer but would like to speed up the process.
Any rec or thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

I've used a Forster for years. Doing a couple I use the handle. Doing a bunch I screw on an adaptor and use my drill

RCBS makes an adaptor

IMHO the best and fastest power case trimmer on the market is the Lee case trimmer that uses the pilots.

The trick is you chuck the cutter and pilot in a drill press and hold the shell and collet in your hand. I've been doing it this way for at least 25 years, never an issue. You can get the rpm's on the press up too if you get a batch of GI 223 brass to get done in a hurry.

Anyway, I did a search and see someone else or two has had the same idea, they glued the collett to a drawer pull but I've never had a problem just using the collet as-is and holding the case in my hand.

I also have a lyman case trimmer that can be converted to power but I have never ever felt the need to do that, if I have enough new brass to think about power trimming I just set up the lee and have it all done in a coupe of minutes.


for every hour in front of the computer you should have 3 hours outside

Hornady trim center is about the best I've used. I've also heard great things about Geraud.
