[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1094723"] I went with the [B]Whidden trimmer: I'm not completely happy[/B]. Holding the bullet down is difficult and the cutter snags because it is not supported inside the bullet holder. Per the [URL="http://www.6mmbr.com/MCRmeplat.html"]Review of Montour Meplat Trimmer[/URL] and Kevin Cram of MCR, if I made a new holder then the end mill would ream the bullet holder. I like Kevin's solution of using a 3/8 shaft with a 1/4 cutter and supporting the smooth end of the end mill inside the bullet holder. I will need to examine my setup as I know I have been avoiding trimming tips because of the Whidden (IMO) short comings. I will either make something like the MCR or just buy the MCR. I really like the MCR de-burring tool. Hmmm another $100 for reloading tools.....:cool: [/QUOTE]
