[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2131710, member: 807"] I have a variety of trimmers that I have acquired over the last 40+ years of loading. Right now my favorite is my Dillon rapid trim set up on a dillon RL-550 just for doing 223. I start out with a standard size/deprime die in station one, then the trimmer in station two, then another sizer die in station three with the die backed out and the expander without a depriming pin to open the neck back to where it should be. The dillon trimmer sizer die reduces the neck too much by itself. This is by far the fastest way to do large quantities of 223 that I have found. I did about 5K on the last batch I did. I anneal the necks as well about every third firing. I also have an RCBS motorized trimmer and the aux station to deburr etc. It works well, but is not as fast and doesn't size and deprime at the same time. For small quantities, I use the Lee system with a drill. I have a Forster manual trimmer and a Lyman universal trimmer as well. The Forster setup is used mainly for neck reaming or turning when converting cases down is caliber. I love this site, I am laways learning something new... Blitzfike [/QUOTE]
