Don't trip and fall on this
Comment from : @guitardaddy6

I'll say these case prep centers are a game changer when you have ALOT of ammo to build, saves time
Comment from : @timothycleere4514

Even though its wobbling ?
Comment from : @walterwilliams268

Hey hey fellow alabamian here, first off I love see Bama folks on the interwebs Let's me know we aren't forgotten 2nd, I'm bout 75 hrs south of Huntsville Anyways, this is awesome idea It'll save a lot of money if your looking to load only specific calibers

I've been a reloader and shooter, both hunting and competitively for over 60 years I don't claim to be any sort of expert but I have encountered a few things along the way in regards to reloading I started by helping my dad reload in the late 1950's for his police revolver Now to the subject at handbrbrI've used the Lee trimmers for years BUT there's a step that must be addressed The flashhole must be deburred first The trimmer pilot ultimately comes to rest on the case head interior However, if there are shards protruding on the inside of the case from the primer flashhole punching process the pilot is elevated above the inside head base producing a longer OAL Additionally, if the flash hole is deburred too deeply the tapered end of the pilot will drop below the bases inner surface thus excessively trimming the case That being said I do use the Lee pilot system but only after carefully deburring the inner flashhole lightly by hand to provide a uniform surface for the pilot to rest upon, making sure the deburred divet is kept as small as possible But cartridge case head thicknesses often vary widely even among the same brand and lot as well The principle behind trimming is to obtain a uniform case neck length for correct bullet tension as well as preventing the case mouth from jamming itself against the chambers forward surface ( OAL) The length of the case neck, shoulder setback and the overall case length are all critical to a great degree to produce the most consistent and accurate loads By using the shoulder headspace datum point and the case head base as trimming reference irregularities incurred with the pilot trimming process are minimizedbrbr I do use the Lee pilot trimmers on rounds I load for both plinking and close range hunting, usually as a time saving move For my match and long range hunting rounds I use an LE Wilson, Hornady or Redding micrometer adjustable trimmer to eliminate any irregularities with flashhole or case head thicknesses to produce identical round to round loads that usually produce 1/4 - 1/2 MOA groups all day long brbrLee makes good products and the majority of the dies that I use are Lee and they produce excellent and truly accurate ammunition It's attention to the little nit picky things that make the difference ultimately

why so complicated just get an RCBS trim pro and a 3 way cutter, trim, bevel and taper it all at the same time DONE all in 1 step
Comment from : @randybichsel4244

I tried this and it just doesn't work at all The shell holder keeps loosening up when the machine is on and the gage doesn't want to screw into the cutter and requires pliers to tighten and remove I don't know if I got a bad cutter with a rough hole or what but it is ridiculous The cut is also not concentric because the shell holder keeps loosening I really wanted to have this work but it doesn't
Comment from : @DB-be9wy

Great stuff! Thank you! I was looking at the case trimmer express by Lyman at 150 bucks, but this is changing my mind since I already have the case prep station
Comment from : @shagitup

Great idea, this is a great video, you are exactly right, trimming off the shoulder is not as accurate, fast maybe but that's it, I'm using the lee one chucked in my dewalt ¹/4" driver, but have over 1000 to do, it's do dang slow, this may be a better move thanks for great video
Comment from : @bigrod0069

Just curious but is the shell holder necessary ? Couldn't you just hold the shell in place ?
Comment from : @markhilken7026

Coming to this latebrI hope you still read comments! brThis is very much appreciated! I'm thinking about a 300 hamr, not exactly a standard round! I want to cut the cases down and trim from 556 brass, but didn't want to spend a ton on a trimmer for this one caliber $30 in additoon to exisitng equipment will get me trimmed Thanks😊!

Holy carp I can't believe I didn't know this thank you
Comment from : @takinisurvivalchannel3812

You're a hero, Thank you! I ordered this and its arriving any day now I'm about to go nuts on some 223!
Comment from : @gopher_topher5455

This is great I always used the Lee trimmers but didn't like doing them by hand or putting them on a drill Even though I don't like it, that's how I do it because I hate having to dial in a trim length every time I switch cartridges I will be doing this I've been wanting a prep center anyway This is icing on the cake
Comment from : @razorbackpiperguy2898

Tanks for posting, seems like a more sufficient way to prep casings
Comment from : @henryian

I'd like to try this out with 38 special From watching the video,and applying 38 special caliber, I think I need a Lee #90157 and Lee #90468brBut Im not sure if that includes what you locking the shell case into before it's put down over the cutterbrI did't want to order two parts when I actually needed three or four Will I need a special shell holder, or will a RCBS /Redding do? What is that other part used with the shell holder? Thank you
Comment from : @DustyRusty-qr7ed

Seems too slow for me I've been using the Lyman Universal Electric Trimmer for years and its been great May be good for low counts
Comment from : @Rustebadge

Too slow
Comment from : @VnBsKrK74

Definitely wish I woulda found this video sooner
Comment from : @jaredprice8813

Thanks man! Just ordered one for my Lyman case prep!
Comment from : @THAS72

Couple questions; with the way, the case is indexing on the Lee trimmer length guide is there any damage or ware going on inside the case on the rim of the flash hole? Also, in your video, I noticed that it was wobbling while it was running I’m very interested in what you’re showing but that is kind of concerning
Comment from : @kevinpillsbury5291

I went this route about a year ago It is consistent and fast I trim my 357 and 38 spl and the diff in accuracy is amazing Good job putting this out for everybody to see
Comment from : @tires2burn

Hey I'm a Mfg Engineer too😁 Great video and I've used the Lee cutter for years and am very happy with it for a couple of reasons I love cranking out bolt action accurate ammo To achieve that I have learned that I need to keep it simple and keep it repeatable The Lee trimmer requires no adjustments What you see is what you get and what you get is consistency I don't need adjustability and actually don't want it When I get my reamer ground for new barrels, I make the neck 010in longer than the tools trim length and it has worked flawlessly Thanks for the demo!
Comment from : @Jeff_Seely

I just jump the gun today on this I should have did this a couple years ago
Comment from : @michaeldunn150

I may be the only one this has happened to…but I had one of these and it stopped working after trimming about 100 cases It wouldn’t even turn on Read the reviews on the websites
Comment from : @laddlanier8072

How old is your prep station because it’s LOUD If the bits on mine weren’t spinning I wouldn’t know it was on
Comment from : @jasonposten9481

I have the same case prep center and I may have to pick up one of these adapters I have the cutter and lock stud for the cartridges I reload, and I use them in a cordless drill I enjoy all aspects of reloading except for trimming brass
Comment from : @8626John

Greetings from NY, Alabama it’s an interesting video How is the concentricity? is it an even cut? I’ve noticed theirs wobble
Comment from : @VictorTorres-cv2tt

I've never used one of these Does the tip really bottom out on the lock stud or does it run into the burr on the flash hole?
Comment from : @luvtahandload7692

I took my lock stud and epoxy it into a wooden ball to make it easier to hold onto Some people use GOLF balls to hold the lock stud, Uncle Jim has a video I think he epoxyed in a socket to hold his lock stud But yeah this is great use of making the case prep center even more enjoyable to use
Comment from : @OlorinD

i chuck my holder in a cordless and do the 3, trim deburr and cham, and during a good chat or how-to vid it goes pretty quickyea simple is good 👍

Those are great! I use it with a cordless drill
Comment from : @toddb930

I recently invested in the lee trimmer for my Lyman prep center and I love it since I use the reloading manual trim size so the trimmer tip was a little long so I used a file very lightly till I got the size I wanted
