1200 trimmer
Quote from Reloader on July 16, 2009, 5:11 pmI recently bought the 1200B it works great I am resizing/trimming 400 per hour when I put the trimmed case in my case gauge it is at the maximum length I would like to take another 2 thousands off bu i see that the cutter is all ready into the .223 trim die a little what adjustment should I make? run the trim die more towards the shell plate and back off the motor i would think but I don't want to ruin my brand new toy.

Previously I was doing only 30-06 and had lots of adjustment in the trimming process. But it seems that the .223 die is a bit long. I cranked mine down all the way to the shell plate. In fact it now probably hits it every time, but that gave me enough adjustment for the trimmer operation. I try to keep my cases .003" under max COL.
