My friend has the H&H .577BPE 2.75" shooting great! Problem is: He has been cutting 3" cases down with a dremmel, and finishing them with a file. We can't find anyone who makes a case trimmer that will do .577 cases. Any thoughts??? Thanks, ND  PS: I'm afraid to shoot it, because then I will want one...

RCBS will make you a trim die that will work well for this task. ****************************************************************** R. Lee Ermey: "The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle." ****************************************************************** We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

Thanks Roscoe! RCBS said they don't make a trimmer that big...they never offered to make a "trim die". I have never used one, so I never thought of that...seems simple enough  .Thanks, ND Stephen Grant 500BPE Joseph Harkom 450BPE | |||

Nitrodave; I had the same problem and ended up making a collet, pilot and cutter head to fit an old Redding trimmer that I had. If your friend doesn't have a whole bunch of brass to trim, I could probably be talked in to doing it for him. Let me know if you/he are interested. | |||

Nitrodave; You can adapt a Forster but it is a bit of work. About like doing elk hunter's Redding trimmer. I don't use mine any longer, let me know if you want your own. Merry Christmas Raff | |||

I have ahad both C-H 4-Square and RCBS both in file trim dies. Both work fine. If I recall the C-H was cheaper today than RCBS was 40 years ago. | |||

2triggers, I use a Forster Classic for my NE stuff. My friend Mike, currently uses a Lyman, but will buy a Forster, if you have a way of making it work. Do you have a "ready to use model" for sale? I can hook you up with Mike. Thanks, ND Stephen Grant 500BPE Joseph Harkom 450BPE | |||

Nitrodave; Thanks for the PM. I will call tonite. Yes, I have everything. You can borrow it if you like. That way it doesn't cost an arm and a leg and you can get a lifetime supply of cases. Merry Christmas Raff | |||

I use an aircraft counterbore. Made a pilot to fit the 577 case. Dave | |||
