[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2418704, member: 116181"] Grafs has three brands in stock right now, two used and one new. Midsouth has two sizes of used for two bits a case. But you probably have a pile of 223/556 from your other AR adventures I'm guessing. I was going to say this: [SIZE=3]FWIW I would use something very low cost like a Lee for the initial sizing after chopping the neck off the 223 just because if you don't heavily deburr before you neck it down you could scratch the die up pretty badly. Use something low cost to do the bulk work, trim and clean them up really nice, then run them through a small base die before loading and after being fired.[/SIZE] Then I found this poking around for the case trimmer I use and found this: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.squirreldaddy.com/Speedy-300-Blackout-Case-Trimming-Jig-p/sd24-103.htm[/URL] With that I bet you could put the new shoulder on first and cut them much closer to the target length really fast, then run them through a trimmer to finish. I use a World's Finest Case Trimmer, does high volume work much easier than trying to spin by hand for the final trim step. Not a Giraud but costs a lot less to burn up on bulk work.
