Hopefully I'll be able to start contributing info and not just seek it!
I'm pretty new with reloading, and completely new with .223. I bought the Lee trim die, and have the Lee Quick Trim with the manual crank.
No matter what I try, I cannot get my cases below 1.76, and I have a few dozen that I can't get that far - it's possible the ones that are under were that way to start. The best I have is 1.758.
I'm sure they're all fine to load, but being new I don't want to start relaxing on my standards.
So, the main questions are this:
1. Could I be using the Quick Trim wrong? It seems like it should be fool proof, in which case I'm a qualified fool.
2. Any other recommendations for trimmers? I've looked at the WFT and the RCBS. I'm hoping to keep it under $100, but I'll go over that for good results
Thanks!
