The Lyman 7862000 Universal Case Trimmer is a workhorse for any reloader who processes multiple calibers. Instead of collecting a drawer full of case-specific collets, this trimmer handles everything from .17 to .458 cartridges with a single patented Universal Chuckhead. Whether you're prepping brass for .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, .300 Magnum, or wildcat builds, you get the flexibility to trim without swapping expensive accessories.
Setup and operation are straightforward. The trimmer includes coarse and fine adjustment options so you can dial in your preferred case length quickly and maintain consistency across batches. The adjusting ring stores your approximate setting, meaning repeat loads come together faster once you've found your initial trim length. The package ships with nine popular pilots, covering the most common cartridges; you can add optional pilots later if your reloading bench expands to less common calibers.
The design keeps your workflow efficient at the bench. No need to hunt for the right collet or invest in a complete set upfront—the Universal Chuckhead does the work. If you eventually want to speed up production, Lyman offers an optional power adapter to convert the trimmer to electric operation, letting you upgrade without buying a new tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this universal case trimmer work with the obscure wildcat cartridges I load?
The trimmer covers .17 to .458 caliber, and ships with nine popular pilots. If your wildcat falls outside this range or you need a pilot that isn't included, Lyman offers optional pilots to expand compatibility. Check the specific caliber against the available pilot range before ordering.
Do I need to buy separate collets for different calibers?
No. The patented Universal Chuckhead handles any case from .17 to .458 without requiring collet changes. This is the main advantage over traditional trimmers—one tool covers your entire brass inventory.
What pilots come in the box?
The trimmer includes nine of the most popular pilots. These cover the common hunting and target cartridges most reloaders work with regularly. Additional pilots are available separately if you reload less common calibers.
Can I convert this trimmer to electric power later?
Yes. Lyman offers an optional power adapter that allows you to upgrade the trimmer from manual to electric operation without replacing the tool. The adapter is sold separately.
