Best high volume trimmer ?

[krausb]

Anyone here ever use one of these? I'm wondering if it's worth the investment.

Yes, and yes.

It works best if you can dedicate a toolhead to it.

Thanks! Will it work with any of the Dillon toolheads or does it need a specific one?

The only major problem with the RT1200b is it's width. Depending on your press, you may be limited to what station you put it in. It will fit in any standard tool head just like a regular die.

The die itself acts as a sizing die, but without a decapping pin or mouth opening sizing ring. Personally, I set up a tool head with a carbide die in station one, then set up the trim die a bit high so all it really touches on the case is half the neck. For loading boat tail bullets, it doesn't matter. As I also run the sized and trimmed case through fresh corn cob media afterword, to get rid of the case lube and any trimmer crumb, I set up a Lee collet die in station one, using a polished undersized mandrel to clear any stray media from the flash hole.
