[QUOTE="CanisLupus, post: 2686997, member: 119041"] for the Henderson, cutter heads are unique by caliber, not cartridge. One 6mm caliber cutter covers all 6mm cartridges ... one cutter for 6.5mm ... one cutter for .308 ... so on ... you won't end up with 20 cutters. you're already doing the same amount of work that it takes to initially setup up trim length using the Henderson methodology. I've never used the FA, so I'm just trying to understand, if you switch from one cartridge to another do you have to do that initial setup again, or is every cartridge trim length established for life once you do the initial setup? With Henderson, it takes a little time to sneak up on the trim length that you want initially (method uses a SHCS with lock nut to establish trim length). Once its set, that SHCS/nut combo is reserved for that cartridge and you don't have to set it ever again. Swapping cutters and/or SHCS/nut combos from one established cartridge to another takes a minute ... really simple, fast, and precise. [/QUOTE]
