45-70 trim die??

[KenH]

Hello all - I'm looking at the LEE 90458 4570 GOV QUICK TRIM: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HF87DE6/

I finally figured what that quick trim does - it's not really a die at all, but part of the total package. It MUST be used with another Lee trim item - the cutter part. I was thinking it was like a form die, but not even close.

Correct, it is a case holder. I've been using one of the 45-70 bodies to trim 40-65 Win cases with the Deluxe Quick Trim for several years. I really like it. Much easier to use than setting up any of the lathe type trimmers that have to be re-set each time you change cartridges. Also nice that it inside and outside chamfers as it trims. I can go through a hatful of 5.56 and 7.62 range brass faster than I can recalibrate my RCBS.

My opinion is you are better off just trimming (not the deluxe cutter) and deburring on a separate step.
