I have 2

I have one of the motorized RCBS trimmers and it does just fine. Also have a 3 way cutter for it and it really is neat. For my 223 brass i have a Gracey and it does trim them all the same...at least the ones shot in my rifle. Both do down to about what Catfish said. Bout .0005...according to the dig. BTW those digital devices are soo much better for me. Same with the motorized thingies. Just lazy.

Skeet, you are right. I mis-read - I thought I saw .0005 also.

Realoading Bench - Trimming

I am not sure what the problem is that you would accept 0.005 tolerance in your case length after trimming. I have been using a Forster trimmer for years and would never accept that much variation. That is a personal preference, not a commercial. Now I would purchase the Redding 2400 model because it has to produce a square mouth and the accuracy should be +- 0.001.
Then neck size so your cases don't grow on each firing.
