World's Finest Case Trimmer

Anything that helps make your life easier when it comes to reloading is worth looking into, especially when it comes to case prep. Not too long ago, a friend of mine purchased a trimming tool called the World's Finest Trimmer (WFT) made by Little Crow Gunworks. It's used to trim resized cases and do it quickly and consistently over many other manual options. On top of that, it's powered by your drill. I had to get my hands on one and see for myself.

Three trimmers for rifle cases

My friend told me that it made short work of trimming his 300 Blackout cases. Up to this point I had been using a manual Lee case trimmer for .223 and had given up on it because it was too time consuming. I ended up buying a LE Wilson case trimmer and stuck to doing just .308 cases as I don't go through as many of those rounds at the range with my bolt action rifles.  Even that was still laborious. It was time to try something new out.

I bought my first WFT for .308 a few months ago then one for my .300 WinMag, and most recently one to handle the .223 Remington cases in light of the recent online ammo shortages for .223 and all the talk about a possible AWB.

The drill-powered trimmer works by indexing off the case shoulder on full length resized cases. The trimmer comes adjusted to each case's trim-to-length size but can be set by the user if desired. A good set of calipers should be used to check each tenth case of so to be sure. Each trimmer comes with a sheet of minimum trim-to-length measurements.

All you really have to do once you get your trimmer is throw it in a drill's chuck and feed it resized cases. You can easily do 10 cases a minute which now makes it one of the quicker steps in reloading. It's really that easy.

Once the cases are trimmed and checked for length, you have to remove the burrs in and outside the neck. That's made easy by the RCBS powered case prep station. With the WFT, I'm up to my ears in .308 cases. Now if I could only find enough smokeless powder to fill 'em.
