Ah the trimmer isn’t the old one it’s the one that fits 5he top of the press?
I’m surprised you have a die that’s out of spec but Lee have a good reputation for replacing stuff
Sounds like you are sorted
A man can always use more alcohol, tobacco and firearms.
I've trimmed hundreds of cases with one of these and have not had a problem, it's a really neat system.
The case is held in a shell holder in the press in the usual way, so should be presented to the rotary cutter correctly each time and a few turns of the handle soon trim off any excess.
Not camp, Gary just wishes I were!
I cant see how that would occur either Richard. I am unfamiliar with the trimmer in question, but usually they have a mandrel that holds the case neck central to the cutters (unless its a simple cone cutter).
I normally trim last, after neck sizing has been done, because it fits the mandrel properly and acts as a last check for splits I may have missed.
You would have to present the cutting blades at quite an angle to have it visible, but what I dont get is what Datum was used as the like I say, most rifle cases are slighly tapered to aid feed/extraction. You would need to use a surface plate and some sort of fixed datum to check it.
