Pacific Case Trimmer 222

I picked up a Pacific case trimmer like the one in the picture last week on ebay because I'm kind of tired of using the Lee case length gauges and was looking at a Lyman which I might regret not buying but are these decent?



It came with a 30 caliber pilot and 222 shell holder. I already picked up a 30-06 and 30-30 shell holder at $7 a pop. And made a few additional pilots along with an adapter to attach my drill.

They're fine.
Basically the fore-father of the current Hornady trimmers.

I should have bought one of these goofy things earlier. Processed 100 pieces of brass quickly. Now to convince myself into a case prep tool.

You must be in good shape. I know I wouldn't fit into one.

That Pacific appears to be nice and beefy and very straight forward. Probably a very practical choice.
