Case Trimming Tools

[jcuffe6240]

I was scanning through some previous posts about case trimming and ways at speeding things up for large amounts of brass that need to be trimmed. Most agree that either a lathe-style or the Giraud trimmer are the way to go for large quantities of trimming. Has anyone had experience with the Little Crow World's Finest Trimmer? I saw these on Sinclair International's website and thought this might be a better option than laying down $500 on a Giraud Trimmer. Only problem with them is that they are calibre specific and they index off shoulder, not base.

I'm going to be ordering one for .223 in a week... Doing my best to avoid buying the RT1200 from dillon :-/

whats so bad about the dillon trimmer?

What's bad is I have spent around $1200 in the last 4 weeks on parts pieces components and tools and it's all been paid cash... If you add up what I have spent in the last year on guns and the hobby in general I could be driving a new entry level economy car!

I will end up with the RT but just not yet.

No, but have heard some good things about them.

Here's a writeup that covers the bases. What you get depends on that you are trimming for, and your budget.

I keep putting off the Giraud for .308 and .30-06 but I might have to try one of these in .308.

I wonder if there is a way to modify it to fit in the rcbs case prep center. That would be slick...

Oh you never know... Little crow gunworks makes custom units by request... Dunno if the RCBS setup would handle a big chunk of aluminum and steel like that tho.

How about a Gracey Trimmer? Trims to length, chamfers inside and outside all in one step.

Re Casr trimming

Save yourself lots of money.
Set yourself up with a small drill press.
Use a universal Lyman shell hoder on the bottom.
And put you cutting tool in the drill.
Once adjusted you can trim thousands in a short time.
I hope you understand what I mean.
