I posted this in the "Military Rifles" forum here a few days ago. Maybe I'll have better luck here.

Looking for anyone with an RCBS Trim Pro 2 (with the universal case holder) that has trimmed (or tried to trim) Graf's or Privi 7.65x53 Argentine Mauser brass. This brass has the original thin rim and shallow extractor groove and I am worrying that this trimmer will not work properly with this brass.

I have a Giraud for my service rifle brass and a Wilson for my prone bolt rifle brass and now I am lazy and want a power trimmer to handle the rest like 303 British, 30-40 Krag, 7mm, 6.5mm & 8MM Mauser, 7.7 and 6.5 Japanese etc. The configuration of the Argentine rim has me concerned though.

Thanks!

Hip's Ax,

I have an original model RCBS trim pro case trimmer sitting in a box in my closet. Has all the original shell holders and maybe a couple extra. I have a #3 case holder (Also includes #1,2,3 and 4 case holders as well as #22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 27, 30, 31, 35, 44 and 45 caliber pilots) and .31 trim pilot that fit your 7.65 X 53 brass already in the box. With the shell /case holders and pilots I already have, you wouldn't have to buy many to cover most of the calibers you've listed. I'd sell it for $200.00 shipped to your location. PM me if you're interested.
