[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 892454, member: 15748"] Absolutely THE slickest way to trim cases was how Jim Hull (my predecessor and mentor from Sierra) did it; he set up one of our jacket trimmers to do cases. Had a bunch of 222 or 223 cases that he wanted as 221 FB cases, ran them all through the form die to set the new shoulder, and then trimmed off the excess on the trimmers. Set it up, filled the hopper and it was rolling. Probably trimmed 25-30 cases a minute, all to within .003", and no need to chamfer. Refill the hopper as needed and he had several thousand cases in a very short time. Yeah, there were [U]some[/U] perks to workin' there. [/QUOTE]
