if a guy came across the money to buy a Giraud power trimmer are they worth it?
Keep in mind he truly dislikes the trimming part of reloading. Really appreciates efficiency and reliability and prefers to not have to rely on someone else for prepared brass.

Ok, I just went through this exercise. I think trimming is the bane of every reloaders existence. I looked at all of them to replace my hand crank RCBS and ended up settling on the Frankfort Arsenal case prep station. I trimmed 100 7mm cases in about 20 mins. My only dislike is that it leaves a pile of brass shavings on your workbench, but that's why God invented shallow tubs or tarps I guess.
The Dillon power trimmer I bought comes with a manifold that hooks up to a vacuum cleaner to draw off the shavings. It will trim 100 cases in under 5 minutes.
Power trimmer, Gaaaa. How am I suppose to keep my arthritic fingers and hands limber if I'm not crankin', and turning that little handle to lock/unlock ever danged shell into position? What a colossal waste of money!
And the brass shavings? I think they're kinda pretty, shinning there on the trimmer, bench, lap,...socks/shoes. Silly people.
I'm there with you Mike although it's been a while since I trimmed any rifle brass. I'm definitely not looking forward to the next 2-3k....
