case trimming

[Guest Scotland Rifles]

Who loads .20 tac.

 

I have some brass that i have reloaded 5 times (dakota) and it needs trimming.i dont want to just lob them in the bin .

 

the problem i am having is finding someone who does a .20/204 case trimmer.

 

i have a Lyman case trimmer on its way from a good mate in Scotland and the bits with it for all the calibres, but again its not going to have the bit for the .20 cal.

 

is it a heath Robinson job or am i missing a better place to shop for my tools.

 

thanks

Find someone with a drill press and a file. Chuck up a pilot and file/polish it down. Find a way to do it because it's dangerous to shoot "long" brass.~Andrew

Hi Bob,

Hope this helps.

 

Alternatively you could turn down one of the pilots you don't have a calibre for to .20 on a lathe.

 

 

Cheers

The pilots are hardened so need to be turned with a sharp ground carbide tipped tool, throwaway tips just skim over the top unless you can get high very revs on your lathe.

A minute or two in the flame of a propane torch will take that hard out. Rehardening is optional.~Andrew
