I did not like the Forster I had.  It had too much variability.

I loved the Wilson.  If you want a great trimmer, the most accurate, that is power adaptable, consider a Wilson.

I now have a Giruad.  It is fast.  It is not as accurate as the Wilson.

Also consider the Possum Hollow, if you can find one.

I would Seriously consider the Redding 1400 or 2400 Trimmers with the latter being my personal preference and the one I use.  I also have owned a Forster trimmer for 15 years.  I would go with a Collet Type Trimmer (Redding-Forster) not a Shell Holder Type.  Possum Hollow Trimmer and Case Adapter is interesting if you have a good multispeed drill press and are only interested in a powered solution.  I can't see from looking at a Wilson Trimmer what it could possibly have going for it that would make it better than a Redding 2400 however Wilson does make a quality product.

I use the Lee case trimmers in my cordless drill. They are inexpensive and work excellent in the 223 as well as other calibers.

+1 on the Wilson for 223/308 has been great!
