I have only been reloading for a few months now and have been focusing on handgun loads. Primarily 9mm and 45 ACP. I am happy with my results so far.
I am now starting my first batch of .223 and have slowly acquired most of the tools I need. I have a Lee hand trimmer and I unfortunately forgot to order a pilot, shell holder bit for 223.
So, my question is, for those of you experienced in 223 reloading, what have you found to be the best, and most cost effective, case trimming method and tools? Hand trimmer, electric (expensive), hand crank trimmer using a cordless or wired drill rig, or other?
I am just trying to get an idea of which is the best route to go before I order and go through the trial and error routine.
Thanks for the help,
Brian
PS - I have mostly RCBS reloading tools and am pleased with the quality. I may lean toward staying with them, but I'm open to all suggestions.
