I have to say it was well worth it, as the guy in the brown truck dropped off a brown box containing my long awaited tool today. The daunting task that lay ahead of me, some 140 or so 308s waiting to be trimmed, had me getting desperate. I was getting tired of using the hand crank, and my arm and finger muscles weren't appreciative about the idea either.
:idea:
Finally did a little modernizing, and purchased a power accessory for my RCBS Trim Pro. :yeah: After getting it together, I was anxious to give it a whirl. The first few took a little doing, as I was getting used to this "new" tool and adjusting the cutter to give the proper OAL. Once I got the hang of it, I was cuttin' away, and those casings didn't stand a chance. Even in their large numbers, they were no match for progressive technology. As I was getting more familiar, I found out I could do around 4 cases per minute.
As the number of cases dwindled, and the little pile of golden slivers grew, reminisicent of progress, I decided then and there I was nuts for not getting this puppy sooner. I trimmed around 141 cases in under 50 minutes, which was a breeze after all the trimming I used to put up with minus the accessory. Being I was able to get all that done in less than an hour, coupled with the fact I had zero cramps in my hands and fingers, not a bit of sweat, and the utter convenience of it all was simply amazing.
I'm really happy with my purchase so far, and I hope it holds up for a good time to come. I still don't know why I put it off this long. :?
