    Cool Case trimmer

    Have previously not trimmed much for brass primarily reloading cases with slow growth. The Tikka 223 requires an outside chamfer for reliable feeding so going to have a bunch of brass to do.

    Primary concern is speed, precision is nice but less so. As such prefer something that chamfers at the same time as chamfering.

    What do people recommend?

    I see Giraud and Henderson as options that seem to save time and while a bit spendy if it saves me a hour everytime I do 100 cases I'm happy.

    Cheers
    Cam

    Do they outside chamfer?
    Don't mind spending money to speed up the process. But not worries about the OCD aspect of reloading.

    There's a Giraud that's like the WFT, but does inside and outside chamfer at the same time. I have one in .308.
    Called a triway.
    Nowadays there's bound to be something that's multi case size friendly.
    Mine will do the .308 family.
    I stick mine in the drill press and do several hundred at a go. Takes maybe 5 seconds a case.
    Can't recall the price exactly somewhere around the $110 USD mark while the WFT is $75USD

    Don't have one myself.
    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.
