Still quite new to the DR world. I now have a fair amount of brass that needs trimming. I was wondering what setup for trimming these cases you gentleman would recommend?

For the quantities relevant to a 470 I use the forester setup

Yes on the forester or even a trim die.

I shot a fair amount of 470 and only used a trim die with a good file.

I use the Forster Classic Trimmer for all my large nitro cases and would recommend it.

This

Trim die for all big bores as far as I am concerned. Very little to go wrong and easy to use.

I wonder if anyone one makes a model that has changeable bushing multiple calibers. Similar to cast bullet sizing dies

Called Forster and know all I need to order to go that direction.

I had not seen a trim die before, but found a video for using them. Quite simple and I'd think cheaper. What I can't find for all my searching is where to order a trim die for this caliber. For those of you that have gone this route, where did you get your trim die from?

Well, did you try searching Huntington/RCBS or Redding special order.

Or Ebay?

RCBS Group L - Cheaper? .....NOT

I have several Nitro Express above .45 caliber RCBS file type trim dies........IMO you can trim a LOT of cases with a Forster Classic set compared to the “Current” price of a file type trim die.....just sayin’

I had no luck finding them on any of the various reloading company websites including RCBS and Redding, but I also have not yet called them, tomorrow hopefully if my day allows. I hadn't even thought of Ebay.

Mine is an RCBS from Huntington’s.

PRECISIONEERED DIES
AFTER 70 YEARS OF MAKING SPECIAL AND CUSTOM DIES, THE BEAN COUNTERS AT VISTA (RCBS) HAVE DECIDED TO DISCONTINUE MOST (95%) OF THE ITEMS THE SPECIAL ORDERS/CUSTOM DEPARTMENT MADE.

HERE AT HUNTINGTONS WE STILL HAVE A GOOD STOCK OF RCBS SPECIAL ORDER RELOADING DIES. CALL FOR YOUR NEEDS.

I only use file trim dies for cases I intend to crimp, much more accurate and the crimp needs to be consistent, especially to the cannalure on some bullets..
