Ugly ‘SRT’ case trimmer

[Deputy819]

Anybody ever try/use one of these? I received one through Amazon on January 3rd and I really like it so far. Very good quality, good price, consistent and easily adjustable using feeler gauges. Trimmed all my 6 BR-A brass with it this morning and it did great. Obviously there will be a "thou" variance here and there if the case shoulders don't all measure exactly the same, but I'm not a benchrest guy and I don't shoot PRS competitions so it works well for my needs. I did a search on here for it and surprisingly nothing was revealed. Check it out…….Oh, and I'm NOT an 'Amazon Associate'!

I don't have that particular tool but I have their Priming tool and comparator set and they are bother outstanding high precision tools. Both by Derraco Engineering. I cant imagine their trimmer wouldn't be of the same precision and quality

I recently bought one. Have not used it yet but I'm pretty sure it must be better than my Hornady trimmer that doesn't trim square and varies as much as 3-4 thousandths.

Yikes! Well, I can assure you mine cuts VERY nice and square. I'm actually amazed at the craftsmanship AND that I only paid $55.95 for it! When I used a .0015 feeler gauge for adjustment the difference was .001" in trim length.

Any case trimmer that trims off the shoulder would seem to depend on consistent shoulder bump to trim case length accurately. Look forward to hearing about your results.
My standard RCBS and Redding trimmers trim just fine and I see no problems on target

Oh, for sure! I'm not overly concerned about .001-.002 variance, though. If there's an "on-target" difference I certainly can't shoot it.
