just got 20 cases of 303 given to me and wondered which do you do first trim or resize

I resize first then trim to length. You’ll need to full length resize if they are once fired.

forgot to ask what makes them the best ?

Design, with the case held and the dies moving on the ram it can also serve as an arbour press, there are no working parts below the bench edge, the leverage coming over the top means it can be used without mounting other than on its base board, spent primer catching, the build quality, was UK made, loads of add ons for bullet sizing, lubing, swaging, priming.

Don't you see its superior qualities now you have one?

id take it you have one then,

this came with crud and dirt an bottle full of caps an bit of rust, old die of set decapping pin. soon have cleaned up
