My standard case trimmer, pilots, deburring/chamfering tools just are running out of steam on the big bores. Can y'all recommend good case trimmers, etc. for the big stuff (500 Jeffery and up)? The ability to accept wildcat cases would be a major plus. Thanks! | ||

I just use my old southbend lathe with a collet stop and a 1 inch endmill held in the tailstock.-Rob | |||

I was trying to avoid using the lathe ... so I can do some case work at the house as well, when I feel like it ... | |||

Marty, I made myself sort of a copy of the lee case trimmer on steroids. Except the cutting head is about 14mm with a thin shank about 8mm which fits in my electric screwdriver. I turned a couple of rods to suit my big bore case mouths with a pin that fits thru the primer hole like the Lee. I put the case, rim down on a piece of 1/4" plate, hold it down in place and run the cutter in. I stop when the pin hits the plate. I do my 500 and 375 cases, and a buddies 416 flanged and 450/400. Works well. One day I will make a shellholder doohickey to grip the cases like the lee, but meantime..... | |||
