.30 Carbine
Quote from Reloader on March 13, 2011, 12:31 amI've read two postings in this forum that Dillon does not have a .30 Carb trim die for the RT 1200 Trimmer, as it has problems removing the brass shavings.
I was sold (by Dillon) a .30 Trim Die made by C-H Tool & Die/4-D Custom Die Co.
The previous posts have made it seem like the RT 1200 will not work for .30 Carb. I have yet to set up my Trimmer, so I don't know if the C-H trim die through Dillon actually works in the RT1200.
Anyone else have this trim die and use it on the RT1200? Does it work?
Thanks for any response.

I don't own a single stage press and am not likely to get one. Can I return the unused and unusable trim die?
