jthurman204 case trimmers
I have always used lee case trimmers. What are you guys using to trim cases for the 204 Ruger

MarkI use a lyman case trimmer. I made a pilot for it from some round bar stock, but you could just as well chuck a 22 caliber pilot in a drill and use some sandpaper on it.

Silverfox jthurman-- My case trimmer for the .204 Ruger cases is a Wilson. I bought a .222 Magnum case holder, adjusted the trim length to 1.8425" and I'm in business.
I also bought a .204 caliber pilot for my Forster trimmer from Gunstop Reloading Supply, but I have that set up for trimming my .17 Remington brass and prefer to leave that set up exclusively for that.
