I recently bought a Lee case quick trim die in 7mm Rem Mag and a Deluxe Power Quick Trim. I thought this would be easy and precise. I want to trim my brass to standard trim to length of 2.490". Nothing about this is consistent. I have the die in my Lyman Orange Crusher, so no play in that. I have the trim die and shell hold touching snugly each time. The case length can vary .010"! I am getting some cases 2.482 and others 2.491. I have tried adjusting the Deluxe Power Trim adjusting ring both ways with no difference in results. This should be simple but I seem to be making the simple complicated.
I have ordered a .284 pilot for my Forster trimmer in hope that I get better results from it.

Have any of you had this issue? It seems like there should be no way to not get this perfect.
