What is your case trimming method?
I have come back to the basic Lee caliber stud trimmer. Its accurate, much faster than any other method I've tried, and well .... very inexpensive.
After using RCBS and, Lyman lathe type, and never being satisfied with the consistency, the Lee is tops in my book. My speedy and fast method: 1.) Decap and resize. (not so fast) 2.) Place the shell holder in a cordless drill and snug it down. 3.) Lock in the resized case. 4.) Insert the caliber specific stud and cutter. 5.)Engage the drill clockwise and slide the cutter toward the drill until the trimming stops. 6.)Remove the cutter stud and insert the deburring tool. 7.)After deburring, cover the outside of the case with fine steel-wool engage the drill and remove lube, grime and leave a polished case that looks as if it has been tumbled and shined. The trimming polishing process takes about thirty seconds, and the case's are trimmed nice and square. Something my lathe trimmers have difficulty doing. Lathe trimmers are around $50.00 bucks to start. Lee trimmers $11.00 to start, then an additional 5 bucks per caliber after that. (plus the drill) I guess you can tell I 've had some down time today. Hope this helps someone that hates the case prep routine.
