I decided to size and trim all my
375 at one time. I was bored in about 5 minutes.
This is not good for quality reasons.
I decided to automate the most repedetive
task. Lyman "POWER" trimmer,& and a RCBS
Trim Mate for the clean up. I also replaced
the gutless Redding press with the Lyman
"Crusher". I was disappionted it was only for
7/14 dies. No loads just retooling now.

k80:
The older Orange Crusher press could be purchased with the insert for large-body dies, alas mine came without. The new ones have abandoned the option altogether.
Still one of the best presses around IMHO.
Case-trimming sucks alright!! I use the Lee trimmers in a press-drill, keeps my sanity (barely!) intact!

For loading the big bores I only use a RCBS A-2 single stage press, it will load them all including 50 BMG..Its a great press with lots of room to work in...
I made an adapter that attaches to the handle of my trimmers that hooks up to a drill press, speedy is the word...
On the big bores however, as I crimp them all, I buy a set of file trim dies in each caliber so that my crimp will always be exact for each case loaded..Automated trimmers are grosley inaccurate IMO...
