I haven't heard of the one you mentioned and a search for Xtreme Case trimmer came up with nothing. Any info on who makes it? I do have the Giraud Powered Case trimmer and it is without a doubt the best investment I have made in hand loading tools. I had a Wilson Stainless Micrometer trimmer. It was accurate but very tedious and you also have to chamfer and debur after trimming. The Giraud trims, chamfers,and deburs at once and accurate as well. No comparison imo.

Does show up from a store in Wpg, appears they built it themselves. Trouble is, they have a krappy pic and absolutely zero info about it on their site or anywhere else. 500.00 is an ok price if its as good as a Giraud or Henderson.

They have a not bad price on an FX120 scale though.

It’s a copy
Personally I have an issue with people that copy others that are already producing them

I bought a Giraud for this reason. And the people at Giraud to deal with are great and fast to ship. And they have all the cutters and dies ready to go.
They also have lots of videos for tips and tricks.
After you have a Giraud you would never be without one.

Buy the original and don’t look back.

Is it a copy or a re-brand?If you look at "their" Xtreme Benchrest trigger picture enlarged you can clearly see the manufacturer stamp in the left corner of the trigger housing,in this case SIDHE srl Made in Italy.

with their logo Xtreme at the top.
Seems kind of greasy to me,if you catch my drift.
On the flip side,didn't realise that trigger was that affordable.

The trimmer is a copy. Not a re brand

The triggers are a different story.
They are made in Italy and are re branded.
You could buy the triggers and have them branded with what ever you want.

See I kind of thought it was a rebrand they look so similar it’s tough to tell!! I’ve dealt with them in the past and they went above and beyond on customer service, stood behind there product and are significantly less then other people. I purchased a Kelbly atlas from them for 200-350 cheaper then everyone else. Had and issue and they supplied there own person parts from there store for free plus free shipping before asking Kelbly to replace them. I purchased a sinclair hand held priming tool from them, and without hesitation he willing bumped me up from there regular to there better version without charge.

With this service I was hoping this trimmer would be the same!

Looks like a blatant rip off to me. I have a Giraud and its awesome, great service as well. I will not support any product that blatantly copies someone's else's design.

Got mine right from Giraud. Great to deal with.
I have my stuff shipped to my US address so maybe a little easier.
Just saves a bit on freight.
I have a couple of pilots to sell from mine that I don’t use.
