Lyman E-ZEE Trim Hand Case Trimming System

The Lyman E-ZEE Trim Hand Case Trimming System provides a straightforward way to trim cartridge cases to a precise pre-set length. In addition, the system can operate by hand or with the included power attachment. As a result, reloaders can choose a manual or drill-powered trimming method without changing the basic trimming system. Lyman offers the system in Rifle, Handgun and Universal configurations.

Lyman E-ZEE Trim Hand Case Trimming System Features

First, the system uses a calibre-specific pilot to establish the trim-to length. Then, the case locking device holds the cartridge case while the cutter removes excess case material. Because the pilot establishes the pre-set length, the user does not need to make a separate trim-length measurement adjustment during normal operation. Lyman describes the pilots as precision-machined components for maintaining case length.

In addition, the trimmer includes both hand and power adapters. The power adapter allows the system to run from most power drills, while the hand adapter provides manual operation. Therefore, the same system can suit reloaders who prefer hand trimming as well as those who want powered operation.

Furthermore, the E-ZEE Trim accepts standard shellholders from Lyman, Redding, RCBS, Hornady and Lee Precision. However, the shellholder and pilot perform different functions: the shellholder holds the case, while the calibre-specific pilot establishes the trimming position.

For reloaders who want additional calibre coverage, the Lyman E-ZEE Trim Pilot provides the individual pilot required for a Universal configuration. Alternatively, the Lyman Universal Case Trimmer provides a more traditional adjustable case-trimming platform.

For further case preparation, the Lyman Case Prep Xpress can handle several preparation operations after trimming. Reloaders looking for a powered trimming and pilot combination can also consider the Lyman Universal Case Trimmer Power Pack Combo.

Choosing the Right Configuration

For rifle cartridges, the Rifle Set includes the hand trimmer, power adapter, cutter head and five pilots covering .223, .243, .270 Win., .308 Win. and .30-06. Therefore, this configuration provides a ready-to-use setup for these common rifle cartridges.

For handgun cartridges, the Handgun Set includes the trimmer components together with six pilots covering 9mm, .38 Special, .357, .40 S&W, .44 Magnum and .45 ACP. In addition, individual pilots can be purchased separately when another supported calibre requires a different pilot.

For reloaders working across several calibres, the Universal Set provides the hand trimmer, power adapter and cutter head without pilots. As a result, you can select individual Lyman E-ZEE Trim Pilots according to the cartridges you load.

Next, install the appropriate pilot and shellholder for the cartridge. Then, secure the case and operate the trimmer by hand or with a suitable power drill. After trimming, inspect the case before continuing with the remaining case-preparation steps.

For a different trimming approach, the Lyman Universal Case Trimmer provides adjustable trimming, while the Lyman Universal Case Trimmer Power Pack Combo combines the universal trimmer with powered operation and multiple pilots.

Overall, the Lyman E-ZEE Trim Hand Case Trimming System combines a precision-machined cutter assembly, calibre-specific pilots and manual or powered operation. Therefore, the appropriate configuration depends primarily on whether you need the supplied rifle pilots, handgun pilots or the Universal Set for individual pilot selection.
