Large diameter trimmer

#1 Post by capper »

Is there a commercially available case trimmer suitable for cases above .45 calibre? Maybe a larger diameter cutter & pilot for my rcbs, any ideas?

I have a Dillon power trimmer available, should/may be able to take the larger diameter. This is press mounted and you'd need to make sure your press would accept it. 110v though.

For .577 Snider cases and other large calibre I put a Dremel cutting wheel in the pilot hole of an Hornady hand trimmer powered by cordless screwdriver.

Abraids the cases down promptly.
