I have this pretty much tuned in now, but i'm trimming a mite too long. I tried boring the interior of the case trim die but that stuff is really hard. Does anyone have a suggestion for boring out...

If you're really cheap, you can fill a mason jar up with isopropyl alcohol and drop your razor in that an put a lid on it. I have razors that have lasted 8-9 months before becoming dull. Its the...

These are the same dimwits that labeled Pizza a vegetable last year. I had to flee my own office after hearing a colleague say that pizza was a vegetable. I wasn't sure weather or not to choke slam...

That would also be nice for me as I have an imitation swagin' arm as well.

Ok, so I'm about 85%.
I am using the 38/357 toolhead previously mentioned. I have a highly modified 6.8 Dillon trim die that is screwed into the 357 toolhead which is also highly modified with a...

For core swaging and pistol projectile forming, its a winner. For rifle, you wont get the ejector to work right. At least thats my experience.
Also its a tough press to mount comfortably where you...

My goal would be to trim the 40 just like any other case in the Dillon fully automatically.

I have not tried it but I have seen it. My finances are tight for a while. If anyone wants me to try it I will gladly if you send me one :)

Forgot to mention that once the modifications are done, there is no room left to get the shavings out because all the work is being done inside the area of the toolhead.

I've been trying to perfect this for 2 months now. The biggest problem is that the length after trim is shorter than the Dillon toolhead while the case sits in the shellplate. The stackup just...
Our rules state that there can be no "printing" (meaning something beneath the clothing shows through) on our clothing. That includes my Copenhagen can! Keys, Phone Etc... Nothing can stick out of...
I carry in a messenger bag. My work policy is such that it is necessary to do so. I wear an IWB holster and transfer to it when I get in my car. This is not always adhered to because what is the...

I have an 04. It should be similar. Good luck though as I just replaced mine and it was a pain even though everything was already there. I'll get a pic for you when the miss's gets home.

Excellent feedback here. Similar results although I haven't worn the die out yet

Its what I am using for my tests. I just bought a drill press off craigslist that I want to mount above my press and leave it on for the duration of the trimming.
Some drawbacks so far are brass...

I can get that for you.
On another note, How hard would it be to cut the threads Dillon uses for their trimmer into the lee 40 trim die? That might actually save me all the work. Is there someone...
