Reloading Presses ?
unfy:
i will NOT attach a drill to his foster trimmer. the quality is astounding, and it's not cheap. i refuse to risk ruining it by attaching some p.o.s. quality drill to it.
also, it cuts through brass like butter, takes no effort / time at all to trim down factory new 41mag brass to proper length.
JimP:
You have a bench to set it on, koz?

If you're talkin' to me, yes--very fine, sturdy home-built reloading bench.
Drill works like a charm on the old plain-Jane Hornady case trimmer. Eliminates hand cranking, which can get pretty tedious after the first 50 cases.
I've used both cordless and corded drills, with a shim block to support the drill's axis in line with the trimmer cutter's axis.
Trim length is set to minimum case length. The cases can grow with shooting, especially the hotter loads. Case length, as you very well know, is an issue in avoiding very high chamber pressures.
'Course reloaders can buy those Hornady Lock-N-Load Power Case Prep Center devices for only $531.67 http://www.hornady.com/store/Lock-N-Load-Power-Case-Prep-Center/. About the same as a new Glock.
The jury-rigged drill works just fine for me.

A cheaper and lighter alternative to the drill would be a cordless screwdriver. It uses the same adapter SFG is talking about, is lighter and as such doesn't need to be supported, slides on and off the adapter without needing to be chucked, and is just a handy tool to keep on your bench.

JimP...Well sorta. My plans are to get rid of my Corvette and build a nice workbench / storage cabinet setup. Maybe about 8 ft long, or should I go BIGGER ;D
