I’m currently working on the loads for my 470. I have shoot the cases two to three times now and the cases need to be trimmed. What type of trimmer is everybody using and what priming tool are you using? NRA Member SCI Member & DSC Member Double Rifle Shooter's Society So. Cal. Chapter | ||

I use the Forster Classic and it works great. Call Huntingtons and they'll fix you up with what you need. | |||

I use a Forster "Classic" trimmer. They have the length to do all of the old NE cases including my 450#2NE at 3.5" I also use a Forster standard length trimmer to do the shorter, more common cases. They are not powered, but you don't usually trim 1000 470's at a time. I use an old RCBS Pardner press to do all my priming. It was my first press, and I guess I'm just used to it. I pre-load the anvil, when I prime anything and have never had a mis-fire. Thats why I stick with that old press. Priming is all I use it for anymore.

I use a trim die and an RCBS Auto Bench Prime. The trim die was expensive and there are less expensive options. | |||

Forester classic, I prefer it over the RCBS auto trimmer. Huntington's is the place to shop for this tool. "An individual with experience is never at the mercies of an individual with an argument" | |||
