Decided to take some 30-30 brass and neck it down to 25-35.
Works pretty easy.
Only thing is the brass comes out longer than some have said.
I just called one of our suppliers and it seems that Lee doesn't list a case
length gauge for this caliber????
I'm using my 250-3000 and cut a bit and measure.
Slow and painful. :(
Any suggestions as to those who trim their brass on this caliber?
Regards.
Looky. :p
 
From the Hornady manual volume#1 sixth edition Max case length 2.043" Case trim length 2.033"................Harold
 
I don't get it, but I seldom do, any case trimmer that I've ever used has a stop which is adjustable and once you set it, all your cases come out the same, no measuring! Even some new riggin' that I got from Forster uses the stop setting on my drill press, knock off a couple hundred cases in no time, only measure once, when you're setting up, then you're off to the rodeo???????? I don't get alot of these reloading questions!
 
All depends on what trimmer you have...just the cheapy one for about $5 ..or a trimmer like a Forester( crank style like a lathe)...that one can be set and repeated cuttings done . I do my 25-35 brass on a Forester trimmer and never had any problems.
 
Just the cheepo Lee brass cutter.
Case length gauges are cheap and work well for the amount of powder
I burn.
It seems Lee doesn't offer one for this caliber.
Had the same issue with my 308 Norma Mag.
Had one made from an adapted 7MM pilot.
May have to do the same for this caliber.
Looky.
