	I also like the Wilson. I’ve used one for years. There was a guy from Michigan who made carbide cutters for them. I have one that’s trimmed thousands of cases and never dulled. As stated above, case holders for all our old cases aren’t available. I couldn’t find one for the 40-65 and had to borrow a friends RCBS trimmer. Best way to ruin a case I’ve ever seen!

	My first trimmer was a Forester. Then I started shooting a CSA 40-70 SS. Needed a different trimmer and got the L. E. Wilson. True, it requires a specific case holder. But there is no pilot, like the Forester. And the finished cut has the case mouth at a right angle to the case body, which doesn’t always happen with the Forester. You can send Wilson a couple fired cases and they’ll make a case holder for you if they don’t list one for your case. Tom

	I too have relied on the Wilson tool for several decades now. There aren't many case holders for the trimmer that I don't have - the result of snatching them up for 40 years even if I had no immediate use for them. You'd be surprised at how often an existing "common" case holder works to hold a non-specific obscure case. (Not to mention how easy it is to make a one-off holder in the lathe, often with just a Morse taper reamer.) Don't be a-feared of it!
