    Holy Crap. Maybe you guys already new about these trimmers. I was tired of trimming a bunch of 5.56 cases back to 1.75" using an RCBS manual rotary trimmer. And then I found this on Amazon.

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009NKJXFQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Below is my review of their product and I am no way associated with their company...

    I have been processing a couple thousand .223/5.56 cases that were too long with a manual RCBS rotary trimmer. Works well but gives my fingers blisters after a hundred or so. This does the same job in 1/10th or less the time and I can process many times more with no tearing up my fingers/hands. I don't review often and give out 5 stars even less, but this was the best $ I have spent in a long time. If you have multiple (usually 5.56) cases that need to be trimmed back to 1.75", but this and you won't go wrong! Just need more batteries in my rechargeable drill now...

    Don't know how long they have been out there but I got a 223 and 30-06 last year.
    Works really well.
    They have a universal one with the attachments for each caliber but don't know what the pros cons are on those.

    They size from the neck so your sizing has to be repeatable too.

    How does that stack to the Possum Hollow trimmer which are impossible to find?

    I have seen these around but have always had a question about how they work.
    This style of trimmer appear to work off the shoulder of the round, while the others with which I am familiar measure of the base of the case.
    It would seem that there has to at least some assurance that the case which is being trimmed has a shoulder datum line in the right place.
    Can we assume that or should the case be full length sized prior to trimming?
