RH45 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Has anybody tried one? I already have a drill attached to my trimmer and I think it would be sweet to chamfer inside and outside at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSWEAR Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I use them in .22, .308 and .270 for my 6.8, once you get them set I think they work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterready Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Mine tend to plug up with brass if you cut to fast. Cutting slower helps make chips instead of long strands that plug up the cutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scar270 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I love mine. Takes longer to set up, but if your doing a reasonable amount of brass it's well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH45 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 As luck would have it, Midway has them on sale so I ordered one in .22, and one in .30. I have 4,000-5,000 once-fired, .223 cases ready to trim, and if I can de-burr them at the same time, it'll go a lot quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar270 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 You don't actually need two of them, you can buy one and just get the extra pilot. Although if you have two and leave them set, then you can just swap them on the trimmer and it will be faster to set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap, if I'd have known that yesterday, that's what I'd have ordered, but, as long as they've already shipped, having spares for reloading has saved me more than once!

Scar270 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Yeah, I didn't figure telling you at this point would help a lot, sorry. You can always sell one off, or as you said, a spare generally isn't a bad thing. At least now you know if you set up for more calibers all you need is pilots.

Mike_Kerr Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yep! I wan't one. regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH45 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 They showed up the other day, but, I haven't even opened the box yet. So far, I've only got about 3K ready to trim. I HATE prepping rifle brass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH45 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 I finally set it up today, and trimmed some brass with it. It really works slick. Now, if I could only add an automatic case feeder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
