Henderson Case Trimmer - RCBS New Trimmer

[Oso]

RCBS has introduced their new case trimmer at Shot Show 2026… Drum Roll… and it is made by Henderson. It incorporates all of the upgrades we would like. IMO that is a partnership that is good for shooting community.

I believe this is Henderson’s response to Hornady’s blatant copy of their design / hard work.

 

[PhilC]

Done the right way!

Wonder how long it will take it to hit the market and will it be at a better price than buying from Henderson?

 

[Kracken McGraw]

Is it really made or designed by them? Knowing RCBS it may be sent overseas.

I wonder if Keith knows he put the neon sign in the wrong room.

Well for what it’s worth (and purely speculative), all of the Henderson trimmer listings are now out of stock on the Henderson website. Perhaps a refresh of the V3 is coming this week?

Yes Sir your correct. Thank you.

It would be nice if the micrometer were available as an upgrade for the Henderson.

I don’t know if there will be much demand for the retrofit…. I already have like $10-$15 invested in bolts dedicated to specific cartridges

But a micrometer is so much cooler…

 

[Oso]

Agree. My comment was tongue in cheek. Micrometer would be nice.

They are listed (not in stock) on Midway for $700.
The description says "Designed in partnership with Henderson Precision", so probably built bt RCBS or contracted out.

Here’s a more complete review of product.

It would be nice to have a neck turning tool that worked that good.

There are Henderson fans, there are Giraud fans...... I happen to be a Giraud fan but that sure does look like a slick trimmer what with the RCBS upgrades.

Nice trimmer… bet that little change-over is tricky.. .22 to .30 cal.. Gavin smooths that part over.. I’ve got the henderson.. had it for awhile…

 

[CJ6]

With RCBS's rock solid warranty, it's got to be a winner.

I think this is a case of Henderson ditching the marketing side and just manufacturing these for RCBS and RCBS does the marketing thereby saving Henderson money which gets passed on to buyers.
RCBS is just a shell of the company it was back when I started reloading in 1974. Huntington made dies for anything you could dream up. When I started, everything I had was RCBS and Sierra.

Why a micrometer on something that you set one time, keeps coming up, is confusing to me.

A seating die, sure. Maybe a powder thrower? Anything a guys always tweaking.

I swear you can put a micrometer on a press handle and it will sell.

I must be missing something. Wouldn’t be the first time.
