Lyman case trim express

[Cowguy]

I have 5 gallons of 5.56 range brass I’m working on. Does anyone have one of these? I’m trying to avoid the 500 plus to get a Dillon setup and still have some speed. Looking for reviews.

Mine broke in a day.

 

Before it was replaced under warrantly I bought the dillon.

 

You still wear out your thumbs using it after a few hundred cases.

Haven't used the Lyman, but after using other single case trimmers for volume I "bit the bullet" and purchased the Dillon. Use it for bulk 223, 300BLK and 308. There's just nothing faster out there. The only limitation is the neck size for rifle brass since the trim die also sizes. If you want precision brass the alternate is a Giraud which trims and chamfers at the same time (one case at a time). But it's also expensive.

The pencil sharpener type trimers are ok for 100 maybe 200. But not ideal for 6000 to 8000. At one setting.

With the amount you are talking about  Dillon would be best.
