Mostly I'm interested in deburring.
I've been using the Lee tool so far and the issue is the outside of the case mouth. I think getting this right is my last hurdle in an uber consistent shot to shot load. Cleaning up the inside has been pretty easy, its the outside that has been a challenge (at least with the Lee tool) Last night I ordered this: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productnumber=789334 Do you go beyond these types of tools to clean up the outside of the case mouth? Or is the 'right' one enough? |

Thats a good one, I think I have three or four of them laying around here but I use a similar setup in my Trim Mate that has a VLD chamfering tool for easier seating of Match bullets but the outside uses a standard deburring tool. Pic

I have a BUNCH of tools for the Trim Mate and this combo works the best/fastest, the RCBS VLD chamfering tool is VERY sharp and only takes less than a second to chamfer the case mouth, any more and it will cut way to much metal from the case mouth.
rear right, Hornady SP crimp reamer front right, Redding SP pocket carbide uniformer front left, RCBS VLD chamfering tool rear left, Hornady deburring tool (same one they use on their case prep center) Lyman makes one just like it but it isn't as sharp back center, Redding flash hole uniformer/deburrer with built-in stop and SS case neck guide |

You can't beat the hand tool you got until you buy a Forster Turn Handle for it, or buy an RCBS Trim Mate....and then there are the 3-way trimmers! I used the same Trim Mate set up as EWP until Forster came out with the 3-way trimmer/deburr/chamfer tool for my Forster Trimmer. Now all I need to use the Trim Mate for is for primer pocket work. Uniforming and/or cleaning primer pockets and deburring the flash holes. The Three-way tool (shown below) just slides over the regular cutter and secures with a set screw. You can trim the old way on calibers not yet supported with the new 3-way by just sliding it off. The original cutter is hiding under it. (the 3-way comes in 3 versions: for all calibers .22, .308, and .243. 
Other options: The RCBS 3-way on it's trimmer, and of course the......  ......Giraud Trimmer.

Or is the 'right' one enough? That's the best all around deburring tool. I use it for everything, including VLD style bullets. Now you need this: http://www.sinclairintl.com/.aspx/sid=66387/sku/Sinclair_Case_Mouth_Deburring_Tool_Holder Maybe one of these, too: http://www.possumhollowproducts.com/kwick-case-trimmers.html The Wilson/RCBS deburring tool and the Kwick Case Trimmer both fit the tool holder sold by Sinclair. |
