This is a little old, but here is what I did.

I bought a cheap small bench-top mitre drop saw ($80 on eBay) and designed holding plate for my 300 Win Mag cases.

Happy days.


Not a bad idea.
I made some 6.5x54mm brass from .303 which I had to trim 4mm.
I just used the bench grinder to get them close, then put them through the Lee Quick-Trim to square them off to length.

My Trimmer: Giraud Powered Case Trimmer.
[Shown with case inserted, but you have to press it down to engage the cutter]

Maybe roughly takes 10 seconds a case?

Probably maybe 5 minutes to change cartridges. (Swap out cutter and cartridge collet)

Trims & chamfers inside & out.

I have an L.E. Wilson trimmer for the odd case, but this machine is fantastic for batch processing, and extremely consistent.

As always; a million ways to skin a cat (and a billion reasons to do so).
