Giraud Trimmer

[xrMike]

It's on the gear list perpetually, but is never able to rise to the top.

UPS dropped it off last Friday. Set it up for .223 the other night. Took just 8 peices of brass to get it dialed in. Trimmed only about 50 peices, but those 50 only took about 4 minutes ,,sweet

Do you guys also trim new brass? ...seems you would want to get a chamfer on them also.

I bought some LAPUA 308 brass ($) as part of my first reloading attempt. I have a backlog of used brass ready to go, but wanted to use pristine (virgin?) cases for my first go round.

.

Still have to F/L size them & check the length. IIRC, The Girauds cutter chamfers & deburrs as well.

It's on my Bucket List.

I got my Giraud a few weeks ago now that they've added a die for 30 carbine. Worked great. Just trimmed about 2k.

Beats me, they didn't email me a receipt because I had to order it over the phone. I lost my paper receipt.

Love ours, we have one with dies for .223 and 300 blackout/whisper, and it can't be beat if you do a lot of reloading. We also just took delivery of the annealer, also great, we started to have forming issues with some of the brass that has seen several loads, the brass gets very springy and will not truly take to reforming. Run it through the annealer, perfect. Also great for cutting down to 300BO and getting the neck and shoulder to a good forming state.

I always trim new brass AFTER I full length size. I just trimmed 100 rounds of Norma 6PPC brass. I was amazed at the variance in new brass.
