With the trimmers out there today, the trim die has gone the way of neck dies

If you are talking about file trim dies, I have a couple that Hornady made for me.

If you have your reamer, a Machinist can make one for you from a die blank.

If you are doing a lot of cases you will need to have a hardened face on on the die.

I have trim dies for every caliber I shoot, they are so easy to use I was hoping to find out where to find one or someone who made them. As for neck sizers I do not or have not ever used one and I've been reloading since 1974.
In my die boxes there is a spot for a third die and I use it for my trim die ( that is what it is for right? ). Besides a trimmer will just be something else to find room for when done with it.

I usually make my own then torch and quench, but these are
more for hack sawing off excess from wild cat work. Best I
can tell you to do, and it's rather inexpensive is get a Forster
Original Case Trimmer kit. You'll get 3 collets that will fit just
about all cases, and pilots from .22 thru .30. And larger pilots
are cheap.

Pma makes a very nice trimmer, easy to adjust and will trim every case you have. Its so simple i cant imagine using a file

I don’t think Redding is going to make any that are not already in stock. I tried to get one in 6.5 Creedmoor, and they said they had no intentions of ever making it. I wonder if they have to give Hornady a percentage of anything to do with the Creedmoor.

Why not just use a regular trimmer? Or a really nice trimmer like a Giraud? I can’t imagine a die being any faster or more precise.

Take a look at CH4D. They have an extensive list of chamberings in which they can make trim dies.

The trim dies are neither one, they were just what some of us started with and seem old hat . The Redding trim dies are good because you can run a fired case up in them to see if their too long, as where the RCBS form/trim dies the case’s have to be sized first. I use the little Forster lathe type most now.
