Giraud case trimmers

Another vote for the Wilson. No pilots, no collets. Chuck it in your vice when you need to use it; put it back in its tiny box when you're done. You can buy a lot of different Wilson caseholders for the price of a Giraud.

I have both the Giraud and the Wilson. For maximum accuracy from my heavy barreled scoped bolt guns, I use the Wilson. For anything else the Giraud gets the nod due to its blazing speed and sufficient accuracy.

Note that the Giraud indexes off the case shoulders, so if each case is not sized to the exact same exterior dimension, the trimmed length will be proportionally different. This does not happen with the Wilson, which indexes off the case head.

I also have a Dillon, but do not like it as it oversizes the case necks during trimming, which overworks the brass and shortens case life.

Looks like this has been covered pretty well and I'm no different than these folks.

I am planning on buying a Giraud in the very near future for 223, 308 and 30-06 to keep my service rifles fed as the amount of time I'm spending trimming brass for these rifles I use for across the course service rifle is a real hassle. I understand the length variations I'll encounter with the Giraud but this will be lost in the noise as far as accuracy goes with a service rifle.

I have a Wilson that I use for my 300m, MR and LR rifles where the consistency of length will not be lost.

I'll keep my Redding for all my mil surp feeding needs, with all of the off the wall calibers I load for not having to worry about different head holding attachments is a plus.

Actually once you get yout technique down the consistency of the Redding can be quite surprising.

I own three case trimmers a Rcbs, the Dillion, and the Giraurd.. I use the Giraurd the most because of speed and eliminated steps in the trimming process. I like having my cases trimmed to length and deburred inside as well as the outside, in one pass....
