Trimming brass is one of those reloading steps that's easy to dread until you have the right tool on your bench. The Hornady Cam-Lock Case Trimmer takes the fuss out of it. Instead of fighting with a shell holder that wiggles or measuring off an inconsistent rim, the cam-lock design seats the case square and measures every trim length from the base of the cartridge. That means rim thickness never throws off your numbers, and you get the same case length pass after pass.
The star of the show is the micrometer-adjustable cutter. You can dial in changes down to .001 inch without ever pulling the case out, so fine-tuning your trim length is quick and repeatable. The one-finger cam lock is the other big draw. A light touch of the knob locks the case rock solid, and another touch lets it go, so you're not cranking a knob between every case. That little bit of speed adds up fast when you've got a pile of brass to work through.
This is a genuine multi-caliber setup. The large-diameter cutting head is made of ultra-hard tool steel and handles cases up to .50 caliber, with a maximum trim-to length of 3.4 inches. The head is replaceable, so when it eventually dulls you can swap it out rather than toss the whole unit. Hornady also redesigned this version with a taller frame and reshaped handle, which keeps your knuckles off the bench and makes long trimming sessions a lot more comfortable.
The trimmer comes with a set of the most popular pilots to cover common rifle and pistol calibers, and additional Hornady pilots are available for anything off the beaten path. One thing worth knowing: it works only with standard Hornady shell holders and pilots, so plan on having the correct shell holder for each caliber you load. A drop of case lube on the pilot also helps the brass slide on and off cleanly. For hunting and target loads, this trimmer delivers more than enough precision to keep your ammo consistent.
No, shell holders are not included and you'll need the correct one for each caliber you plan to trim. The trimmer works only with standard Hornady shell holders and pilots, so stick with the Hornady brand to keep the case seated square. It's a good idea to pick up the shell holders for your main calibers alongside the trimmer.
The large-diameter cutting head trims cases up to .50 caliber in diameter with a maximum trim-to length of 3.4 inches, so it covers the vast majority of common rifle and pistol brass. It ships with a set of popular pilots, and Hornady offers additional pilots for less common calibers. As long as you have the right pilot and Hornady shell holder, you're set.
The micrometer-adjustable cutter lets you make changes in .001 inch increments without moving the case. Because the case is locked in place and measured from the base of the cartridge, rim thickness and other variations won't throw off your trim length. You get consistent, repeatable results case after case.
The trimmer itself is a manual, bench-mounted tool, but Hornady offers a separate Cam-Lock power adapter that lets you run it with a drill or driver for higher-volume work. That adapter is sold separately and is a popular add-on if you process a lot of brass. For moderate hunting and target loads, the hand crank works just fine on its own.
