The post whore thread.

Thanks but I've really just been lazy when it came to buying a trimmer. I already measured most of them and the cutoff for "acceptable" was <1.758", the ones that were longer than that were thrown in to be trimmed bag.

But statistically speaking, there should be a handful of brass that is exactly 1.750". The trick is finding them in the first few minutes of measuring cases.

For the record though, I'm starting to regret throwing out my old evaporative cooler motor when I upgraded. I kept it for a while, couldn't think of a use for it then tossed it.

Now all I can think about is setting up a dedicated motor/coupling/WFT trimming station. Oh well, a drill will work just fine.

For 223/556 go on the short side. Unless you are sizing for 500m precision loads. If you are just doing standard AR loads, your reduced trimming in the future will thank you for going on the shortest size of acceptable.

So J, you are a fan of 1.740-1.745"?

I considered it, but seeing as how nearly all of that brass is only once fired and it'll take me a while to get the components to load them up, let alone shoot them several more times, it seemed like a moot point. [dunno]

eta: And yes, this will be for an AR. Mostly plinking rounds, but when I trim them, I'll be sorting out the nicer brass for future precision loads.

I plan on loading most of my brass at one time or another for plinking ammo.

I also set aside the nicer brass for precision rounds that receive a lot more care.

I run mine 1.740 for LC. When i get mixed brass it runs 1.740-.745. Even LC wanders, with an average of 1.745 across the spectrum.

Hey J! No need to try and catch up. This is basically just the chit-chat teen-chat section of the forum!

It's so much easier to keep it than it is to get it back.
