I have an older RCBS collet type case trimmer and it gives me some trouble on .303 Brit. rimmed cartridge cases. I find that the rim diameters of .303 vary several thosandths from shell to shell, even within the same brand. In a collet type trimmer like the older RCBS that changes the entry of the collet into the cartridge holder. As a result I am experiencing considerable variation in the trim lengths of my .303 shells. After setting trim length and proceeding from one cartridge to the next I get trim lengths that vary of as much as .010" from one shell to the next.
I am looking for a timmer that doesn't depend of a collet so I wont get cartridge length variations on rimmed cartridges. Both the RCBS trimpro and the Lyman Universal tirmmer look like they may have a design that may not give me the same problem as they don't use colletts.
I would like to hear from users of these two trimmers as to whether they may help the problem I am having with vaiances in Rim Diameters messing up my cartridge lengths.
