I have the hornet breechplug conversion for my Encore and would like to trim some additional brass. I do not have access to a lathe - does anyone know of a simple way to to the significant trimming of the case?

I have a regular case trimmer to clean the cut brass up to final length but I think the case trimmer would be pretty slow to use to grind away most of the case!

get a dermal tool and use it to cut the brass down very close to length you want then use the case trimmer to square up the case and make it the final length you need

Great minds think alike, I was going to suggest the same thing.

Use a tubing cutter. It also works good making cases for the 30 Herrett.
