Wilson versus Forster case trimmer

[barrowsr]

I've been thinking about switching to a Wilson trimmer and was wondering if anyone has experience with both. I do like the ability to neck ream that the Forster w. accessory gives me. Does the Wilson have that ability with an attachment?

If you decide to get the Wilson case trimmer, I have one a new one mounted on the Sinclair base.

The Wilson is more accurate. It is hard getting the cases in the Forrester collet the same every time. If you don't get them back against it trims too short. I have both and like the Wilson way better for accuracy. I can easily hold .001.

I'm sold on the little crow gun works world's finest trimmer.

I have several of the Forsters I picked up over the years. All I use when reloading for accuracy is my Wilson in a Sinclair base. The power adapter really makes it sweet. But!, don't use something with too high of RPM.

Wilson with the micro adjustment...spend the $

You really don't need the Micrometer. You can just measure the length of the rod with a caliper. Write down the number and you can return to that measurement when you want. The base and shark fin is nice though. Matt

I can't see why .001 would make any difference. The chamfer on the neck would offset any gains . Larry

Yer thumb gets tired out !!

I've had both. I like the Wilson because not only can I trim to consistent length, but their VLD chamfering cutter is the best & most reliably accurate in my opinion. Apart from that, my Whidden meplat trimmer works off the Wilson base as well.

Wilson Hands down! And yes they do make a reamer, don't know in what increments they come in. I think just Cal. rel

I like my RCBS power trimmer . And now I had the 3 way cutter changed to VLD angle. Larry

Re: consistent case trim length -what difference does it really make? Benchrest HOF member Jack Neary states in his Tuning seminar on YouTube that in a blind test it was proven that cases that are consistent in trim length yielded the best accuracy and noticeably so. He recommends 0.002 -0.003 max. deviation. IMHO tools that allow trim lengths to 0.001" is a huge confidence builder when prepping for competition.

And they don't anneal. Go figure. Larry

Most likely because their dies match their chambers -Impeccably

Do you believe that ? Brass hardens from work stress Most are shooting over 66,000 psi . Larry

 

[LHSmith]

Minimize sizing and you will minimize stress.

Most are shooting very thin walls .007 to .008. There isn't as much brass to harden and hold them. They also go up in tension after they start to harden. Plus like LHSmith says their dies match their reamer and they don't move the brass as much sizing and firing them. A lot of guys I know throw their case away after a shoot. It's not the same as long range. Matt

Wasn't it you who said 62000 psi the same I any case . Just a jab . Smile Larry
