They are quicker for me than my Lyman large style trimmer so I use them quite a bit still. I don’t use them for any .223 as the brass varies so much and certain brands are bad for having off-center flash holes. I got tired of not noticing until after the brass was trimmed and the case mouth was cut so off-square that I’d junk the case. I like them as once the case is in the lock stud it’s a pretty easy process to chamfer and debur as well. Not the most efficient method by any means, but it works well enough. I’ve been meaning to order a custom length case length gauge from Lee for my .338-06 as when forming from .30-06 the brass is always a shorter than spec. If I got one made to the shorter length, I’d be able to trim them all the same so they start out consistent and then wait to see if they ever grow much after that.
