Damn military brass is done!! Of course I've got pics.

After trimming almost .025" off some of these 7.62x51 brass, lets call them mixed headstamp, mostly TAA07, they turned out pretty good, just waiting on the Hornady primer pocket reamer, yeah I know I dont need it but the primer will seat a bit easier if I remove that pesky crimp on some of them. Would I do it again? Only if it were a national emergency. The guy at work should love them, hopefully he saves the brass so I dont have to work so hard next time, got a damn blister from chamfering.

Dillon 650 with primer swage add-on

Giraud

That is all.

I love using lake city once fired. Brass prep with a WTF and lyman case prep center make quick work from start to finish.

Telling him how easy he could have done this had he used A or B only adds pain to his probably sore hands.

Sir I salute you for your perseverance and attention to detail in completing the arduous task. A herculean feat indeed!

Id literally raise my right hand to the brim of my cover in salute but it would probably slow down the hundreds per hour production Im getting on my S1050 with swage and RT1200. Im sure you understand.

Im not what you call a high volume shooter, that would be my son Sgt Gorski, USMC, he might like one of these if I can talk him into reloading for his AR.

Dillon super 1050, PW autodrive, and a Giraud. Feed the Super 1050 and just watch it spit out money. The Dillon trimmer is faster, but buyers want to see chamfered and deburred brass...

For my personal use I just break out the Wilson tools for 100 pieces batches. LC and the other milsurp brands, can be reloaded MANY times. It's all I use I my 308's because A)I buy it by the ton B) It's good brass C) it lasts a long time.

Tip for the OP: When using the Wilson equipment I wear those thin flight gloves. They allow grip and save your hands from blisters and chafing.

After I was more than half done trimming I started wearing a racquetball glove.

For many years, I've used the Forster primer pocket cutting tool: Forster Original Classic Power Case Trimmer Primer Pocket Chamferring

You also have to have the Primer pocket center: Forster Original Classic Power Case Trimmer Primer Pocket Center

This set up is easy and three light turns cuts a nice, even cut out of the primer crimp. You have to first own the Forster case trimmer, but I bought one decades ago for probably 1/2 of the price now listed.

The Hornady tool you ordered will probably work well for what you're doing and it's only about $10.00.

FLIGHT762, you wouldn't happen to have a picture of the Forster Primer Pocket Cutting tool setup. I've looked around and can't find one. I have a Forster case trimmer and think I understand the concept of the primer cutter. Just would like to see it setup.

I don't have a photo, but the best as I can describe it is the primer pocket cutter is placed into the cutter end of the lathe just where you would insert a caliber pilot to trim a case.

The Primer pocket center shank (the part that looks like a mushroom) is inserted into the case collet holder and tightened down into the case holder, with the tip of the mushroom pointed toward the end of the lathe.

You take a case and rest the case mouth on the end of the primer pocket center. You then move the lathe end with the primer pocket cutter on it and the case self centers onto the primer pocket and the case mouth. You then turn the lathe, which cuts the primer primer pocket crimp.

Here's a photo of both parts, I f that helps. Primer Pocket Chamfering Tool | Center for Primer Pocket

I just found a PDF on the Forster site with the instructions for the primer crimp removal tools. There is a fair photo of the set up. You can zoom in on the PDF to see it a bit better. I really like the tool, but like I said , you need to own a Forster trimmer to use it. It actually put my Forster trimmer back to use since I've moved on from using non powered trimmers some time ago.

Right, that was really the only reason I was looking into a RCBS Case Mate. Or a Dillon swager. So this is a lot cheaper and I can use it on my forster trimmer

I slap my trimmers bits and stuff on a bench mount drill press. I have two that I've free from various places. You can get them on craigslist for next to nothing. Makes things very easy.

 

[Slick17]

I've been looking fir them as well lol.

And now for some of the finished product, actually had 2 bullets left over and 4 extra good brass so I loaded these for my own personal testing in the spring. I'm thinking velocity will be in the 2690 range, load is 46grs 2000MR, WLR primers, 180 Hornady SP.
