For those of you who reload .470 Nitro Express - What case trimmer do you use?

I recently went through the pain of ordering a custom quick trim die from Lee; only for the something to go wrong with the cutting head and damage the inside of the die and Lee said it would be 3 months before they could produce a replacement.... so they got to keep it and I'm looking for a reliable trimmer.

Havent had to trim any 470 cases yet. But I think my trimmer is an RCBS....will check in the morning. I had to order some special parts for it.
 
Forster. I have the standard lenth Forster for all cases .375& .416 Ruger and smaller and the larger Forster for .450-.400, and longer.
 
I built a pod trimmer by copying the Wilson.

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.
I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!
