Another vote for Wilson, by far the best and perfect for the accuracy buff.
Buy the vernier version (cry once)
Many, many calibres are available and if you have a custom chanbering which isnt available from Wilson its an easy job to machine a case holder and using the same chanber reamer machine a case holder.....
Wilson is the ONLY one I have and the only one i'd buy again.
What are you shooting, and what are you shooting at??
I have Wilson, Lyman, Forester, and Lee. I use the Lee for hunting loads. The Wilson is only for 30-06 and because I happened to pick one up at a reasonable price. The Lyman I almost never use, as, it is about the same as the Forester. I like the Forester because of the collet that holds the cases and the outside neck turner that fits it. This is used for case reforming.
By far, I use the Lee more than any other. Stupid simple, repeatable (never goes out of adjustment) and cheap. If my accuracy suffers from using them I haven't noticed. Of course, they don't look all mechanical and machine-like sitting on your reloading bench- and I feel really out of place wearing a white lab jacket when I use them- but I have gotten past that.~Muir
I am with Muir and just use the Lee. Clearly the downside is that you can only trim the cases to one fixed length so there is no scope to tinker. However, despite it being a very simple device (I chuck my shell holder into a cordless screwdriver and spin the cases with it) all my cases come out exactly the same length as close as I can measure. Ideal if you are happy with one fixed length and inexpensive as well which is a bonus.
With the Lee the cases can only come out one length. There is nothing to slip, nothing that can change. If that length is the absolute best is, I believe, overridden by the simple, quick, reliable repeatability.
I use a Lee with Cordless screwdriver. Simple,cheap and does the job, also in neck sized .223 hardly takes anything off as lapua cases dont seem to stretch that much.
