Trimming cases
Quote from Reloader on May 25, 2011, 11:30 pmDuring the process of reloading, with the RL550B, is the brass checked to measure for trimming the case?
Thanks.

For trimming small quantities of brass, a hand trimmer is sufficient. For larger quantites, I recommend the Dillon RT1200B electric case trimmer, so you can size and trim cases at the same time. Stock# 22080.
