SINCLAIR INTERNATIONAL WILSON STAINLESS MICROMETER TRIMMER WITH STAND

This is certainly the best manual trimmer you can buy for bottleneck rifle trimming. Unfortunately, it's the worst trimmer you can buy for straightwall pistol trimming due to the design of the pistol case holders. So make sure you know what you plan to trim...if you want to trim alot of pistol brass, I'd suggest looking elsewhere or buying a second trimmer.

The case is very true after trimming( checked with dial indictor). I have a Hornady,Lyman, RCBS and the only one that is kinda of close is Hornady. This Wilson Trimmer is the best,next to chucking in a mini lathe.

What a great tool , simple to set up and use stays set and does the job quickly and accuratly

I've been loading for the past 15 years, been through a few different trimmers, I was looking for something manual again. I don't shoot in volume anymore so the speed of the process is not an issue,I looked at the reviews decided to give this one a spin.

Wish I would have done it 15 years ago, it cuts more square then anything I have ever used. In fact if it were not for the imperfection of the case heads I doubt you could cut it any more square and in about 3 or 4 turns if your only out a few thousands.

Some I here are reversing it and squaring the heads a smudge. Anyway you can take the directions out of the box when it arrives and throw them away, no need in wasting your time. Just look at the photo on this page and you can figure it out.

I bought the one with the shark fin and the directions for it actually should be the directions for the trimmer. I over trimmed three shells by one or a half a thousand before I got it set right. Thinking about buying one for the rest of my calibers and set them for life.

I'm trimming the 300 RUM with this one and the blade cuts the brass like hot butter.

I have tried other trimmers but this one is by far the best quality trimmer on the market. I have the 50 bmg and the standard 3 inch or less trimmer both are made with outstanding craftsmanship. Makes the task of trimming a lot less of a hassle. Cannot say anything negative about this wilson product or any other Wilson products I own.

If you want to trim lots of cases fast, don't buy this expensive trimmer. If you want to very accurately trim cases to help yield the most accurate ammo possible, invest in this beauty. Crafted out of stainless steel, it is meant to last a lifetime or two. The included stand is very sturdy and puts the cutter at just the right height above the bench surface. The only improvement in construction I'd make is to enlarge the two mounting holes out to 1/4" so that it would be easier to secure the unit to the bench with two 1/4" lag bolts. However, a drill press makes quick work of that issue.Using the unit is straight forward and easy. Insert the brass into the case holder, tap it lightly into place (some pistol calibers use a wedge through the holder to secure the case), put the case holder onto the cutter rail, slip the shark fin holder in place and trim. Initial set up is made vastly easier than most cutters by the use of the micrometer adjustment, which makes it very easy to shave another thousand off of the case. Once set, the unit is very repeatable.So far, I've only done .357 Magnums on this, but the results are impressively repeatable and I expect to find this to be the case in other calibers. One thing I learned "the hard way" was that some rifle calibers require a different holder for fired vs new/re-sized brass in order for the case to seat securely. I didn't know this when I ordered and I got a 30-30 case holder for fired (or neck sized only) brass. This meant that my re-sized case just spun around in the holder. Not a huge problem. I just called Wilson and they will swap it out for the right one with no freight charge for the replacement. Good customer service.This beauty is expensive but well worth it. As is the case with the other Wilson tools/gauges I own, this is a high quality product. You get what you pay for.

I recently bought this case trimmer and have used it on .357, .44 mag. & 460 S&W mag. It is expensive and slower than the RCBS or Lyman trimmers that I am used to. However, it does what it says. It produces a consistent trim case that is absolutely square. I use the Q-type case holders and the carbide cutter. It took me a while to get into a rhythm, but once I did things went along smoothly. Again, if you're looking for speed, this will not get you there, but if you're looking for precision this is the one.
