Rebs,

They do work the same, but I haven't used the WFT to compare the two. The WFT might use different materials that may cause it to have a different useable life as a tool, which might justify the higher price. Can't say for sure.

But in terms of variation that I'm getting verses what others have reported from the WFT, I'm not going to bother buying a WFT to find out. In fact I'll probably buy a Possum Hollow trimmer for my next big batch of 7.62 M80 brass.

Moxie,

Unfortunately it isn't "excellent" with the crowd I've been shooting with. An old gentleman I've shot with, High Master rated, is able to hold around .75 of an inch for a 10 shot group at that range, from the standing position (I watched him do it on a reduced course High Power match). Of course he has decades of experience in High Power and I keep getting interupted by the Army to go to Iraq/Afghanistan/NTC/JRTC or School (I lost my entire summer to Fort Sill this year, totally blew my High Power season to bits).

I didn't start competing until about 2 years ago, but it is an addicting hobby.
