Purchased primarily so i can size brass for wildcat rounds. once you get it set up it will resize brass to a desired length on a consistant basis. directions are easy to understand and setup is very quick. for large batches i might suggest wearing gloves as your fingers may get sore from holding the brass.

Delivered to Germany with relatively low shipping costs, which is good.Trimming works ok.However, the inner rod is not 100 straight, so the whole thing tumbles in the hand quite a bit. That is a bit a annoing, but given the price and versatility, I can live with it.

I use it for getting it close, but it's not the precision cutter. Is it good enough for bulk trimming, yes! It's certainly nice to have around. The option for a wide variety of cartridges is a clear bonus.

Only had it for a week or so and have done around 300 223 rounds. Set it checked the length every round for ten rounds then twenty then one hundred cut them all the same. Easy to use easy to setup I like it.

J’ai donc acheté le bidule, reçu, et utilisé ...Je suis dubitatif … dans un premier temps je me suis demandé si je le réexpédiai ou si je le gardai …D'un coté, ça fonctionne, c’est assez simple à régler, malheureusement il y’a un Hic !la coupe de mon collet n’est pas parfaitement perpendiculaire à l’axe de mon étui, j’ai un léger biais …Et je ne trouve pas la chose acceptable !Naturellement, j’ai démonté et vérifié plusieurs fois le positionnement du système, tout semble correct … et ça me refait un biais. J’ai serré l’étui plus ou moins fort sans changement perceptible.Le problème c’est que je ne sais pas ce qui le cause …- L’axe perceuse –> fraise passe dans un roulement, le jeu est très léger et acceptable, à priori ce n’est pas lui le problème.- Le collet de l’étui passe dans une rondelle avec une face plane et une conique, seulement son trou est large pour permettre de faire un appui en dessous du collet sur la partie conique, une mâchoire en plastique vient enserrer l’étui pour le maintenir et le centrer, lorsque l’on visse la bague de blocage.Je crois qu’ils ont voulu faire l’économie guide de centrage par calibre et que c’est de " l’a peu près …"La fraise de coupe semble ne pas être au plus haut niveau de dureté et d’affutage …J’ai lu quelque part qu’elle semblerait interchangeable avec une fraise RCBS de meilleure facture qui éventuellement permettrait de placer un guide de centrage …Par chance, je possède un case trimmer RCBS trim Pro 2 … donc j’ai commencé par démonter les deux case trimer… effectivement c’est interchangeable ! et, Oui, on peut mettre le guide de centrage !Donc, j’intervertis les deux fraises et je place le guide sur la fraise ! J’en profite pour faire sauter les deux clips et bien graisser tout ça … L’axe du porte fraise est maintenu par un roulement à aiguille ce qui est plutôt bien, et un roulement normal coté perceuse.Je remonte le bidule … et je le teste … là, ça change la donne ! mes coupes sont d’équerre … enfin !Conclusion : Je trouve le système bien pratique, plus rapide,plus facile à régler, moins pénible qu’un case trimmer type tour. Une fois modifié, Il est précis (de l’ordre de +/- 0.0005 pouce sur quelques étuis après un petit ébavurage ) ce qui est excellent .Du coup, je le garde … par contre, je suis bon pour me racheter une fraise pour le RCBS…

This tool is amazing! I bought it for 300blk ammo. I like to leave a little extra neck on the case when I run it through the chop saw. This tool allows me to accurately take that extra off quickly....like in seconds. The trim length is set by your case headspace....so if your length of trim varies its because your case headspace (which you have set with the fl die) is what is varying the trim length....not the tool. So make sure you get a accurate case headspace set, and this tool is beyond wonderful. I wouldn't suggest it for precision long range reloading, but if you want to crank out some ar rounds it is more than accurate enough.

For bottle necked cartridges, this works great! It's not for pistol ammo and even the 300 blackout struggles due to its tiny shoulder, but for my 5.56/.223 ammo and my 30-06 it works great. After getting used to how it works, I can trim brass all within .003" of each other. My technique is to run the case into the trimmer with my old craftsman drill at full throttle (it doesn't run as fast as a newer drill) and when I feel the trimmer is no longer trimming(yes you can feel it), I give the case a twist and then pull it out. With a little practice you can get pretty consistent results. I just wish it worked a little better for my .300 blackout

First let me say this is surprisingly accurate with unexpectable repeatable results. Pretty quick n easy to setup as well.The following is why its not a 5 star product and may not be worth buying.1) Everything runs off the tools shaft, which has some runout. The case your sizing does have some wobble. Its not terrible but its noticeable.2) The 2 bearings are garbage. With this tool you feel the cutting action, when its smooth the case is trimmed. Is my case done? Idk the bearings are notchy. Sealed Japanese Bearings are needed-$30-40 for the pair.3) The cutting bit is just ok. After 500 rounds its getting dull and chattering on the case. RCBC sells a carbide cutter for $32, mine will be here today..hope it fits.In closing, all in plan on having $150 in this thing. It should be a really good tool. If for some reason the carbide cutter wont fit due to thread differences I'm returning everything and buying the Dillon trimmer for my 750. My wallet will feel the pain, but my hands should be pain free after using tools like this.
