[QUOTE="Greywolf18, post: 254236, member: 14172"] Thanks for the help guys. Yes, the forster trimmer does have a small screw for fine adjustments. Yes, I am trying to get the cases to 1.75". However, I am getting it to 1.746-1.752. Once the depth is set, I can get consistant cuts. So I have been making a cut, measuring, then making the slightest turn on the screw, cut again, measure, turn, etc. However, I cannot get to 1.750"...am I just being too anal and once I find 1.748-1.752 just lock it down and do a batch of brass with that setting? So basically I can get it to +/- .01", but am trying to get it to within +/- .001"...is this too anal? Should I get within +/- .002-.005 and say good enough for government work? My dies finally came in today so I am hoping to do a batch of brass tonight so I can start attempting the rest of the reloading either tomorrow or the next day...depending on when I get the brass right and I read the manual for the 10th time to make sure I don't screw it up :D Thanks again for the help.
