    I got my new Giraud today!

    That's about it. I'm just excited and my wife couldn't care less. I'm set for bulk trimming .223, .308 and 50BMG! I can't wait to use it.

    The only negative now is that you will be getting the job done so quick, that you will be left looking for brass to trim!

        I've got a couple of 5 gal. buckets of .223, +2K of .308 and over 1K of 50 brass right now. Of course, in a week or two, I may be looking for more. Now to convince my wife that I NEED a Ken L?????? annealling machine!

          Congratulations!

          You'll find brass prep time will take a lot less time and you can process a lot more brass in a shorter amount of time.

          I can tell you that producing ammo to fuel my competitive High Power endeavors is a lot less strenuous with the Giraud Power Trimmer.

            That my friend is a work of art. I have had my KL annealer for over a year now and you cannot believe the difference it makes on the 50s.

                I've had my Giraud about a month now. What a great tool and amazingly uniform & consistent.

                The pain of the purchase price wore off as soon as I trimmed my first batch of brass.

                  Once you use one you will not go back. I sold my Dillon 1200 trimmer and bought one last year. In my opinion it does alot better job even though you handle each piece of brass while I used to use my dillon trimmer on my 650 with a case feeder. This way you look at each piece of brass and can see any rejects.

                        My Giraud got here last week, but i've been too jammed up at work to even open the box yet..

                          You're close enough to me that you could come over and use it sometime. Assuming you've got enough brass to make the trip worth it.

                            Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
                            Let my aim be true and my hand faster
                            than those who would seek to destroy me.
                            Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
                            Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
                            And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home, let me die in an empty pile of brass.
