I HATE IT >:D and I need a better and faster way to get uniform brass lengths. 

So how are you all doing it and with what.

There is company in MN I cannot remember the name but they have the slickest case trimmer I have ever seen and it works with a drill press. I will think on it and post when I come up with it.

You ever try a Lee lock stud trimmer/bullet guide set up? Can't think of any easier way to do them. Don't need to set or measure for any cartridge once you get the correct guide, which are pretty cheap. I use them with the Lee three jaw chuck  (Actually made for the Lee Zip Trimmer) in my cordless drill for even more speed.

I have yet to trim any straight walled case. And I have some 35+ year old .38 special cases I have reloaded a ridiculous amount of times. But if you are searching for EXTREME accuracy, I could see it.

I use the Lee Trim System too
Have the Zim Trim (which works well), but us a Cordless Drill (or Drill Press) if I'm doing a larger amounts

You know I was wondering about that if you guys are trimming straight walled cases.   I have done some minor trimming of my 445 supermag brass and my 41 gnr#2  but not much.   I always had to trim my 270 weatherby and had a hard time with uniform cases.  It was a PIA.

Thanks for the info guys.

The Lee stuff looks just as easy and comes in MANY more calibers. To add a new caliber costs $6, quite cheap. I mean all it needs is a new bullet guide for a new caliber.

I just suggested it it is one of the fastest and easiest to use but your mileage may vary.

I don't. But I sure do on bottlenecked cases! The only straight walled stuff I have trimmed is 9mm luger when I converted it to 9mm mak and had to trim off one mm.
