TL;DR What is your preferred means of trimming high 223 volume brass for plinking/general range use?
Greetings mdshooters, I'm looking for a better way to trim brass for 223. I'm currently chucking shells in a lyman EZ trim drill adapter and chamfer/deburring with a forster tool (also chucked on a drill). After ~3000 cases trimmed, it's not cutting as cleanly as before. Will possibly buy one of those "worlds cheapest trimmers" on ebay as a replacement.
I've seen various methods to trim/debur brass, and I'm intrigued of 3 way cutters such as girauds, trim it 2s, lee quick trim, etc.
A couple of peers told me I also tried experimenting with using wet tumbling as a means to remove the debur, but it leaves a "peened" edge that still needs to be deburred off. I wet tumbled a batch of 300 for ~30 mins or so. Possibly need to tumble it longer?
