SaeedCase Trimmer For 600 and 700 Calibers??
Anyone knows of any case trimmer for these larger calibers?
We have been using the Wilson trimmer for all our work, but that stops at 50.
Any help would be greatly appreciated it.

SR4759Make a Wilson type case holder for each round and use it in a engine lathe with a 1" 5C collet holder.
If you do not want to make the holder Wilson will custom make them.
The small Hardinge machines with the lever operated cross slide are excellent for case modification. The cut off tool is shown in operation right at the end of the video.

SaeedI am already doing them on the lathe, as I have made holders for all the calibers I need.
But, I was wondering if there was a stand alone trimmer available for these large calibers.

pagosawingnutSaeed,
I answered on the other post you queried but will again.
RCBS and Forster both make a trimmer that will trim up to the .50 BMG, it's long enough to do what you want but I don't know if they make the cutter heads big enough in diameter for your applications. I bet they could make them custom ordered.

ledvmI think a lot of people use custom trim dies. RCBS makes them for any caliber they make regular dies for I believe.
