[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4183161, member: 15054"] The lee hand crank trimmer I have is for .308 and mounts on top of the press and It is CRAP. Free if anyone wants it. Why is it crap ? Because it is not consistent. You add a little more or little less pressure and you get a different case length. The plastic flexes etc etc. I use the lee you showed in the picture also and I do not know how you are using yours but mine is stupid fast. What i do is chuck up the cutter in my bench top drill press. Insert the case length gauge. I then have the case and holder in hand and run it up the cutter. I have the drill press on the slowest speed. 3 to 4 seconds per case and then take it out of the holder and chuck up another and run it up. I hold the holder and the case in my hands squeezing the case so it does not spin. It is really fast. Most of these cut and chamfer in one tools do not give me a VLD chamfer. I need my VLD chamfer.
