Well, I'm using the RCBS Trim Pro with the RCBS 3-way cutter. That does the job well. As I mentioned above, I modified it so I can use the drill instead of hand-cranking it.

There are other trimmers out there, though, some of which will make you breakfast and do your laundry during their down time. I don't have experience with anything else besides my RCBS, though.

I recommend the RCBS X die, after one trim you never have to trim again. It has worked well for me.

Yeah, that too. I bought Hornady dies when I first "tooled up," then after I realized that trimming was such a PITA I went out and bought the X-die set. I still use the Hornady seating die, but I stick with the X-die for sizing.

The only downside is that you need to carefully track your brass. Sometimes I'll use a brass catcher, but I've started running a big Sharpie across my reloads so I can identify the brass after I shoot them.
