v-max Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hi iv been looking into buying a better case trimmer so i can cut what i want to cut off brass other than my lee zip trim & case gauge. Its really because i would like to try doing some gongs out to 500m or so & know that i need to get the loads spot on for the range work. I got my 22.250 rebarreled by Grant Taylor & have got lapua brass & want to care for that really as im a tight scotts man. I have just orderd forster ultra mic die set with precission plus bush neck/bump die etc to use now & have been looking at case trimmers now & i like the redding one's but like the idea with the forster with there 3in1 cutter & more so the neck turner for case trimmer & liked the idea & how it worked. I looked on youtube at it & i have never had to neck turn in all my years & done well to date but i fancy trying to squeeze as much as i can out my rifle as i threw a load together with FL-sized sako brass out another rifle & getting .250 at 91m & recon that neck turning will help with my own older brass plus i have my new lapua stuff to play with. Dose anyone use the forster case trimmer & or with the neck turner etc & how do you rate it??. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I have this unit and, as you plan on doing, use it for things I don't use my Lee trimmer for like wildcats and general case reforming. For general trimming, I stick with the Lee studs: no adjustments to go out. If you get a Forester you probably won't be disappointed. It does what is says it will do.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major case trimming Jig for cheap HF chop saw Very nice indeed, I do like ingenuity. Have you built any other aids and tools like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarinePMI Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Davy, Just bits and bobs that people have asked me to try and make. Drop tubes for Belding & Mull powder measures, mandrels for case prep, modifying shell holders; just nit noid stuff, when I have the time...

It is amazing the number of small projects you can work on once you have a lathe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
