Just like that, I no longer hate trimming brass!

For the volume of brass I prep, there is nothing on the planet that is as simple, fast and clean as this Henderson trimmer. Saves your hands plus not to mention the time taking a three step process down to one pass.

The base plate bolts right up to my inline fabrication flat mount using two bolts I had laying around and the normal plate wingnuts.

Agreed, set mine up a couple months ago, have the trim heads for both 223 and 6.5CM. After going the Hornady with a drill attached, then Dillon, The Henderson is the cats meow.

Not sure what make that is, but buying a Giraud a few years ago was one of the best things I ever got for reloading!!!

Good move OP!

I've used both the Giraud and Henderson trimmers. The Henderson is hands down a better trimming tool, it isn't even close.

There is nothing worse than hand chamfering and deburring. The Henderson was the best investment to date. Next up is the autotrickler..

Anyone using the AMP mate with a Giraud? F-Class John has a video up of his set up. Wondering if others are having great success with the automation?

In what ways, please?

 

[JMGlasgow]

The cutter head requires no adjustment, and in my experience is much quieter than the Giraud. I also like the fact that a collet holds the brass (Henderson) instead of trying to hold onto it with my fingers (Giraud)

I don't own either one, but I have used both and the Henderson is better.

I am not, yet. You’ll have to call AMP and get the custom firmware and load it into the amp mate when you want to use it with the Giraud. And then re-load the normal firmware for annealing.

Is the firmware to adjust dwell time?

So the caliber specific cutter head doesn’t require adjustment. Well I’ve heard of the Forster cutter head needing adjusting. The giraud doesn’t either once an individual is head is set up for a specific caliber.

The collet alleviating finger strain presumably and the noise are interesting points though.
