30 Carbine Rapid Trim Die
Quote from Reloader on December 21, 2010, 3:13 pmWe have tried, but the cartridge is too short- the exhaust hole in the die for the vacuum to suck out brass chips is buried in the toolhead. If you really want one, go to www.ch4d.com- they will make a custom trim die in pretty much any caliber.

I'm not opposed to a little modification.

Quote from Reloader on December 24, 2010, 6:02 pmWhat your thought on milling down an old tool head for a 1050? Just one or two stations, enough to clear the trimmer.

Quote from Reloader on December 25, 2017, 3:05 amI just built my own trim die for my 30 carbine brass for use with my Dillon rt1200.
I cut off the top of a rcbs die about 1/16" from the fully extended brass.
One needs to lathe the face to insure it's true for alignment to the trimmer. Using a 6" Long nipple 1/2 schedule 40 I threaded the pipe to match the RT1200 coupler. It's an archaic thread like 13/16x20....
I also drilled a hole through the pipe for the chip removal. After touring both the pipe and die mating surfaces and checking clearances the two pieces were welded togather using my miller tig machine.
You must use a die to grip the brass or it will spin.
I am pleased now to be able to size and trim each piece of brass to a tolerance of 0.001" at a rate of 6 cases per minute.
I did have to mount the whole set up on a rcbs 50 bmg press, which surprisingly has the thinnest top head. Still, the bottom ram had to have an adapter under the shell holder to push the brass deep enough into the top head to exceed the die for cutting. I'm not sure it can be done on a Dillon even if you do mill the die holders. I thought of doing that but it appeared I still wouldn't have the clearances needed.
Someone needs to make a press just to decap, swage, trim, and chamfer a rifle case. I can do everything g but chamfer on my 1050 with my rt1200 but for high accuracy chamfer is critical to not scrape the jacket to damage the concentric weight distribution for longer shots.

You actually learn how to bring a difficulty to light and make it essential. More people must check this out and can see this side on the story. I cant think youre not more well-liked as you absolutely have the gift. IndoCair Slot
