[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I hate brass prep

2000 LC cases with primer pockets swaged and trimmed to length. Only 4,000 more to go. Really wish I had a Giraud trimmer.

Oh, if only I had your problems....

It took me a while to collect it (2 years), and now I have the time to prep it.

What's your location?

Get the Possum Hollow Trimmer and Drill Chuck. Then chuck your RCBS Beburr/Reamer tool in that and go to town. Po' mans Giraud

I'm in McCleary, west of Olympia.

I'm using a Lyman trimmer with the drill attachment. The RCBS 3way head doesn't fit on that, but the trim to length takes about a second with the standard head. I spend more time picking up and tossing brass than actually trimming. I can trim, debur and chamfer about 1,000 per night, and they have had all the primer pockets finished. It is just a bit hard on the hands.

Out of all the things I wish I had bought during the good times, a Giraud is it.

I have a tub full of 5.56 brass that needs worked, but as you say it is hard on the hands.
I may start workin it a little while I have some down time.

Same boat here, 2k+ to swage and trim with another 1K incoming. But once swaged, never again on those cases

I think that there was someone that was looking for a group buy on a trimmer (dinothewap)

I thought us fudds had it rough with 100 round batches.

Wait, what does 'case prep' mean again?
