    Somewhere on this Web is a link to a YouTube with a fellow and a highly automated 650 with a case feeder that almost completely preps a 300 bo. Maybe other cases with a little Yankee ingenuity.

    Here is what I use to trim 40's. It is not terribly fast but usually gives a nice even and a consistent cut. You can cut the case longer by adding a washer. If you are not familiar with it the little 3 jaw chuck is from Lee. You can also use the Lee trimmer in a drill press and adjust the length you want.

    The 9mm trim jigs work great. Only bulges from unsupported chambers give them problems sometimes. If the brass is out of spec it's hard to make a precise cutter.

    They work as we have sold several batches and I think we have one or two left.

    But there is more than one way to skin a cat

    I have your jigs in 300BO 40 and 9mm. I really like them but the system is one I want to get away from. I am most interested in feeding a hungry casefeeder and letting my autodrives do the rest. My projects at home have picked up and I'd much rather babysit an automatic press and kill two birds with one stone.

    I completely understand. I would rather build guns for myself and kids than build jigs. I'm on my phone so it's hard to see stuff but if you have a drill press there is a different design you could adapt. Can't remember guys tag
