Nathanb Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Was setting up my new rt1500 trimmer tonight while I was doing some stuff and was having some issues getting the trim die set properly. Instead of taking my time and doing some research on the matter I was stubborn and tried to press through adjusted the trimmer down and nailed the toolhead. Cracked the cause blade in an way it affects all three sides and now I'm stuck with no way to trim cases and load while I order a new blade from Dillon. To top it off I found out what my issue was within five minutes of starting my research. For those watching put the nut on the bottom of the toolhead when trimming 300 blackout. Or else you can't see where your trim die is and you'll cost yourself another 30 bucks to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
