[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3200147, member: 15054"] I must trim all my 357 magnum cases and I have trimmed 100's of nickle cases and my cutters do not dull any more than brass cases. Sounds like a dull cutter. Here is something else on trimming rifle cases. When I was shooting my .308 to test brass to fail point i found at what length the .308 brass got into the neck and it was .030" past what the trim length was stated as being..so there was a very large safety window. I do not sweat a few thousandths unless I am shooting for max accuracy and even then I found trim length was the least of my worries case mouth chamfer was more important. You could even try chamfering the case mouth before trimming to add less stress to the cutter [/QUOTE]
