Case trimmer for large rim diameters?
Yesterday at 10:54pm
Print Post  
What is a decent case trimmer for use with larger rim diameter cases, mainly 45-70 family, 50-110, 44-77, etc. (0.600"+ diameter) I have an old Redding that works great but I had to make a crude adaptor to fit 45-70 and up cases. I like the pilots that share the same cutter, but the handle that you push with the palm of your hand gets old very quick. 

I was looking at the Lyman trimmer but noticed it only accept up to 458 Win Mag (0.532" base diameter).

I haven't looked to hard for a suitable trimmer so maybe I am missing something obvious.

TIA,
Rafter

The Forster Products Classic Case Trimmer has some large collets available. All their trimmer stuff is on sale now direct from their website. I have used one for decades and have even machined some of the collets to better suit my needs.

#7 .640
#8 .610

The Wilson case trimmers will work with all sizes of rims as they use a separate bushing that holds the case body as opposed to holding by the rim.

I have the Wilson - mounted it vertically in a small drill press to 'automate' the process a bit.
