Case trimmer ? Custom or other.... 6x47 lapua

[Sendero_Man]

Got the new 6x47 Lapua shooting great.

Now, I am thinking on case trimmer from Lee or similar.

thoughts or better trimmers. Been using my RCBS trimmer and was thinking something faster and easier to use. I have the reamer spec sheet and know it cuts to 1.860 and was thinking trim to 1.850 to put me .010 off what it cuts.

I can send specs to Lee, just wondering if there was something better or easier to use to trim cases.

Using 6.5x47 Lapua brass.

thanks all.

Giraud makes a great trimmer IMHO. You can purchase extra cutter heads adapters for all of your other calibers. Mine does an exellent job and is fast.






IMHO & YMMV

+1 on that. Worth every penny.

I bet they can custom make it for you.

Send Doug a sized case and he will make you one.

I have a Lee, and this weekend I was going to trim 400+ 308 cases. I gave up after around 30 cases and on Monday I'm ordering a Giraud.

Trimming is the only part of reloading I hate, and a Giraud trimmer may end up being the best money I spend for something shooting related.

If your going crank get a Wilson, Lee stuff works but there are much better choices.
