[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1649722, member: 74902"] No not really. About the only brass I use that has off center flash holes are some cheap 223 brass, but it has been a while since I loaded them, so cannot say or use. I do have a 25-06 that I use the lee trimmer on with Winchester and Federal brass and never had a problem. One thing about the Lee trimmer is it is setup to trim to SAAMI +/- .001 or so. If you have new cases with short necks below SAAMI, it might not trim any off of them for a few firings... You can adjust the trimmer shaft/mandrel though by filing a little bit off of the section that fits thru the flash hole. That way you can trim to whatever length you want. It can be made to trim less and make necks longer by turning the shaft off of the cutter a bit. Nothing you want to be doing on a daily basis however. And it depends on how thick the case heads are if there is enough room to adjust. [/QUOTE]
