    7mm-08 Case Trimmer

    I've found that my brass is in need of a trim, could any one recommend an entry level but effective trimmer and deburrer setup.

    I'm a uni student so the budget is fairly low.

    If you put it in a bag and post it I will trim it for you if that works.
    Is it too long it won't chamber correctly or is it too long from a book dimension only?
    mikee and BRADS like this.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    It chambers fine but is a little over the book dimension. Thanks for the offer, might wait until I have a few more though.

    @MDub

    How many cases do you have to trim?

    Cheers

    Only about 20, but will have around 60 once I use the loaded stuff. I think they will be fine to go one more load, the ones that are over the book length are only just over.

    @MDub this is the perfect solution. Cheap as chips to buy, easy to use - you can sit in front of the TV and do your cases.
    I still use mine at times for my less often reloaded cartridges rather than set up my bench mounted one which I prefer to leave set up for my main cartridge.
    And regardless of whether your cases need trimming or not you should have a chamfer/deburring tool to tidy up the necks and to allow better starting of the projectile when seating, also to remove any roughness that may mark the projectile.
