	Opinions will vary, but I really like my Wilson case trimmer. Just for the pictures. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	I want to trim my bras without having to size it down in a die. Also has to be long enough to accommodate the 45-90.

	Wiloson makes a trimmer for 50BMG that will work for anything down to 6MM.

	One problem I have with the Forster is cutter is not large enough diameter to trim fired cases. What diameter is the cutter on your Wilson?

	As I noted, Wilson makes a trimmer for 50BMG, which would certainly work for any 45 cal. and I would imagine any 50 cal. Anything made for 50 Bmg is usually expensive, although Midway has a blemished one for $121.27 in stainless right now. Krag

I use a "fired case" 45-70 holding die for my 45-90's and 45-70's, I have a special one from Wilson for the 40-65's. You can get a dedicated 45-90 holding die from Wilson if you want, I think they required 3 of your fired cases to use for measurements for the holding die, but since the fired case 45-70 holding die worked I just went with that. I trim to 2.390.
