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.

I will be looking for a set of these when my .505 is done... sadly not cashed up right now for these. :(
Need anything in trade?
Cheers,

what kind of velocity does the 140 grains list, curious how they would fit in with my current 130 gr, supply of 270s. maybe a pic of the box data listing vel. and drop. Oh and complements on that ammo belt, nice.
