30 Herrett trim die

If no one knows of any trim dies does anyone have any home made ways of cutting off some of the excess neck when I reform the 30-30 to 30 Herrett?
I don't need it to the exact measurement as I can put it in my case trimmer to do the final trim to length.

I've made up lots of 30 Herrett brass. I made a jig by cutting a rough hole in the side of a 2X4 just deep enough to allow me to drop the brass in and zip cut the rough length with a Dremel grinding disk. From there I used an RCBS trimmer set to the exact length after the sizing was done.
Thanks MuthaFunk I was thinking about doing something like that but just wanted to see what people have been doing when not using a trim die.

I seen people using pipe cutter, but it compresses the neck, that you gotta resize again.
I messed up a few cases trying to figure a way to trim the excess off, but was cases I got from the brass bin. But I'm thinking zip disk the best method.
I used a hacksaw at first, then tried a pipe cutter. Ended up using a dremel, and that worked about the best. - dan
I use to use a pipe cutter. Most people tighten them down too much causing the neck bend in. Do small adjustments and they work well. I now use my lathe for more drastic case cutting. I normally cut cases over length then resize then use my powered Lyman trimmer for final length.
I use this for the rough cuts https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/845440-20-Power-Trimmer

Lee does make a 30 Herrett trim length guide.
But when I tried to trim alot using another trim guide and cutter, it messed up the neck.
