I am looking to get one shortly I am currently only reloading 9.3x62, 6.5x55 and .223. Would he handy to inside neck ream as well as the 9.3 has some serious donuts to get rid of.

Delux Lee Quick trim, quite cheap at $29 for the head and does the length and both chamfers/reams at once, brilliant wee tool does the three cuts squarely.

Lee Quick Trim 90437

(you'll need a body per case size)

eg

Lee Quick Trim Die 6.5x55 Swedish 90337

Lee Quick Trim Die 223 Rem 90179

Otherwise the Lee case trimmer that goes in a battery drill bit, cheap and fast.

Lee Cutter And Lockstud 90110

plus the mandrel(s).

if you have to do a lot (100+) at once its very good for speed work, also cheap.

Lyman 30Deg VLD internal trimmer/reamer is good as well.

Lyman VLD Chamfer Reamer

There is a Lyman universal set, but I dont think much of it. I like the internal reamer but the external one not so much I Prefer the cheapy Lee for outside) , and the pocket cleaners that come with it are utter crap IMHO.
