SINCLAIR/L.E. WILSON - Stainless Case Trimmer Kit With Micrometer & Stand

After much debate on the best type of Wilson trimmer to buy, I settled on the Ultimate model since the micrometer can do direct reading of overall case length. It works well, and can handle my primary cases (222, 30-30, 30-06) without any special set-up changes. Some reviewers on gun forums worried about the fit of the 30-06...not a problem. Very square trim, with repeatable accuracy. Very happy with the purchase.

Best trimmer on the market for precision reloading. It trims to within .0005 every time and cuts square case mouths. Its very easy to set trim length using the micrometer. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money for this trimmer over the Forster, RCBS, etc.

This is a really valuable/great reloading tool for rifle brass (NOTE: you'll run into difficulties using this for pistol brass). The LE Wilson brass trimmer is on the money, every case, exactly the same length every time. It will take about 2-3 cases to initially get to the exact cutting length. Remember to measure twice and cut once when initially setting up. Once you're set, lock everything in place and you're good to go. I've used other brass trimmers (won't mention the names) before getting the LE Wilson and just kept getting too much variation in overall brass length after trimming. Sometimes it was 0.01 to 0.02, not acceptable for precision reloading. What makes the LE Wilson consistent is the cutting length is based from the bottom of the brass, not the inside of the brass rim which can have thickness variation. The tool cutter itself is sharp and leaves a very clean cut. Other brands I've tried leave a lot of burs requiring more than usual deburring and chamfering--extra work. I think the only downside is you'll need to buy brass holders for the cartridge family you're reloading. Pay attention to this because some are based on new and fired brass. If you full-length size fired brass, it's not a problem. If you only neck-size fired brass, you may need two different case holders for the same cartridge. I'm also not terribly thrilled with the brass holder for the 280 AI. The brass holder goes all the way to the bottom of the brass before it fully engages the brass. It works, but LE Wilson should update their 280 AI brass holder for the new SAAMI spec brass coming out from Nosler and Hornady. One other thing, I liked the LE Wilson micrometer version (749-101-021WB). Not saying the Sinclair micrometer version isn't good. But, the LE Wilson micrometer version worked great for me. I liked that it's so easy to adjust to a relative zero. Overall, the LE Wilson brass trimmer is a very good product that made me happy enough to spend time writing this review for fellow reloaders. I wished I had started reloading with this brass trimmer rather than wasting money on other brands.

I am an absolute picky person and spend a lot of time testing at long range and reloading. i've never bothered to write a review but this is deserving of a mention. Great bit of engineering, simple to adjust and fast to work with, fast to clean and oil/maintain. I only have a few Wilson items but will be looking into more it there items are at this quality. Highly recommend it, i have only used it with resisted neck turned 308win lapua brass, the 6mmbr will be to try.

Terrific trimmer, easy to set up and adjust. Better case trimmer than the Hornady I've used for yrs that produced inaccurate cuts. The micrimeter adjustment on this tool is accurate and easily adjusted. Wilson forgot to include the allen wrench(s), but I had them already. The cutter head is machined perfectly to the handle and barrel. This is the one to buy, just wished I had done it years ago.
