DONE TRIMMING!!!

[Skimbleshanks]

Anybody want to guess how many this is? I started this project a couple years ago. A couple kids and a house later and I'm getting back to it. Switching to a Lyman universal case trimmer really made it possible. I was using the little Lee hand held trimmer for the first 200 or so, and as a result led to me putting it on the back burner. My ARs will be happy. Mixed years of Lake City 556.

DILLON CASE TRIMMER 1200/1500...
SECONDS PER CASE

~1300. I started with 1305 but culled a few here and there. The Dillon stuff is nice. Maybe someday $$$.

Love my lyman case trimmer, set-up its pretty fast. I would never count how many, I would just set down with a coffee and start and go till it was done. Take breaks for the monotony and arm rest. I'd guess two a minute at least, maybe 2-3 days?

Started a couple years ago? Dang, you need to shoot more!

I do about 3k of 5.56 a year to support the children and their shooting habits...okay maybe I shoot a few as well.

I still use the lee trimmers today! Great lil tools I've got a trimmer by Lyman but these lee trimmers are so much faster. I chuck the cutter in a drill instead of the shell holder. That's a lot of cases tho I usually only trim 50 at a time max!

I use a little crow gun works trimmer for my bulk trimming its faster than any thing else I have found I only use it for my 204 and 223 brass for praire dog guns take a look at them

I have 8700+/- .223 cases. About 4000 loaded up at any given time. I trimed and chamfered each case to minimum. Took forever! I will never do that again! When they grow enough to need trimmed again, I give them to my brother.

I did 2- 5 gallon buckets of once fired 5.56 a few years ago. cleaned, Swaged the primmer pockets, resized and trimmed. I trim with a Forster power case trimmer mounted in my drill press with the 3 in 1 head that chamfers inside and out. I can trim 600 per hour.

Are you talking about the new electric model? I like mine as well.

Yeah I do need to shoot more. 2 kids under 3 and a 110 year old farm house make that harder than it used to be lol.
