[QUOTE="squeeeeze, post: 1503428, member: 34065"] Thank you for the response and great ideas. I’ve pictured my trimmer with the 3-way trimmer installed and the regular trimmer pilot I am holding. It looks like a bad design for the 3-way trimmer pilot as it has a nice sharp ridge for the peak compared to the regular pilot that is flat and smooth at the largest meeting area. The regular pilot measures .2795 and the 3-way pilot measures .2805. The I.D. Of my sized neck is .2810 my fired case I.D. Measures .2840-.2845. I size before I trim so I can get consistent trim lengths. If the pilot touches the inside neck at all it will groove. I may take a stone and spin the trimmer and try to smooth the pilot out from being so sharp. I haven’t used my 6mm or 6.5 mm 3-way trimmers yet due to this issue. I do have the new style (trim pro 2) and it has the universal shell holder which is tough to get 100% concentric, but I’m just used to messing with the case and fine tuning till I get there or close and I’m sure that doesn’t help with this design. I just started to use a cordless screwdriver for this trimmer but do it at the slowest speed and equivalent to my hand turning so I’d have the same issue either way. I did call RCBS about this problem and they said they would send me another one out and they’d double check it was the same as their prints, if it didn’t work to call them back and we’ll go from there. The 6mm and 6.5mm look like the same design so I’m sure nothing will change but at least give me one to try and correct. [ATTACH=full]109447[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]109449[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
