I am growing very tired of trimming brass. I have a Forster Classic that works great, either manually or with an electric screwdriver adapter.
Don't get me wrong....I do not mind case prep. Resize, swage, trim, mike about every 20th one, clean the primer pocket, chamfer and debur....voila! Prepped case.
You get to inspect literally every case that gets done. Nothing wrong with that. But I am sitting down to do 1000 308's for the summer shooting. There has to be a better way after the first 200.
I do one step at a time. Take all 1000 and size. Then swage the 1000.....then trim the 1000....then chamfer and debur the 1000....then clean the primer pocket of the 1000. THEN I'm done and they are ready to load.
I can't justify spending $400 on a Dillon or a Giraud. I'd love to but I just can't justify that expense, particularly since I can do exactly the same thing.....only a boatload slower.
I just installed my spare cutter shaft and boy did that make a difference. I sent the old one back for sharpening.
Any middle ground here? Can I improve output without spending $400+?
