Lyman Brass Smith Case Trim Xpress Case Trimmer - Precision Reloading Tool for Rifle & Pistol Brass - Perfect for Reloading Enthusiasts & Competitive Shooters

I make tons of 5.56 and 7.62 from LC cases for competition, and was using the Lee case length gauge method with the cutter and lock stud for the last 30 years. While perfect with the trimming, It can be very time consuming and makes the hands and finger sore from the lock stud swap out and slips. The the cases need deburred and chamfered. When I found this I ordered it immediately and was pleasantly surprised how well it work, and every easy to set up. Simply, after sizing my brass I took the first piece on the case length, cutter and lock stud method. Put in the right collect in the Lyman Case Trim Express, backed off the cutter head, put the sized brass in, and adjusted the cutter head to touch the neck. I got a consistent 1.754 cut on each case there after with no need to debur/chamfer, and trimmed 150 perfect cases in 20 minutes. I would have got done quicker if not putting calipers on first few dozen and playing with the adjustments. With the cutter and lock stud it would have taken about 90-120 minutes to do that many. Hence I reduce by reloading by many hours and produce way more reloads.My only concern is the Made in China. Just got this and seems to be constructed well so I am bit concerned if it is going to hold up for heavy use as do 1000s of cases over the course of the year.
