Thread: Can someone help out with trimming?

And then you start all over again
So surely it is more consistent to trim that little bit off every time
Your still trimming the same amount your just taking a tiny amount off rather then alot in one go
Just my thoughts

Whether that consistency is worthwhile will depend whether you are a long range target shooter or a bush hobbit.
I'm more of the latter, and my trimmer takes a bit to set up which is a pain when reloading several different cartridges.
