Lee Quick Trim

[kmw1954]

I just picked up one of these Lee Deluxe Quick Trim tools with a 223 die since I've never had to trim pistol brass before.

So far I've used it on about 400 pcs of 223 and I have to say it works and works pretty well. After getting a feel for it and making a couple adjustments I also have to say that it is down right consistent if I do my part. May not be the fastest method but It will do what I need to get done.

Oh and BTW this is the hand crank model and not the one that attaches to a drill.

I have the same. It works well!

I used the hand crank model then later the drill type on my .223 cases but I had trouble with the case mouths sometimes getting chewed up with both of them. I switched to the world's finest trimmer and IMO it's much better. Quicker, easier and never chews them up.

Mine has done about 4k 223s and about 100 300 Blk converted from 223 brass.

I use a dab of grease and wipe it down every 200 pieces. And repeat.

It has been pretty consistent at trimming the cases to 1.743", give or take .002".

I am using the Lee Zip Trim and could not be happier with it. Relatively fast, inexpensive and consistent. Use it for 30-06, 303 Brit, 7.5 Swiss, 44 mag and 44 special.

Be well folks

At present I am going to use this until I get a better idea/feel for how much I am going to need it. Then I will re-evaluate if I need something more.

For the price it can't be beat. I have one and a RCBS lathe type. Get the same precision either way.

I use that one too, works well my only negative comment is that some quick trim dies have either incorrect markings or are made wrong. My 454 casull die will trim a 454 case to 45 colt dimensions even when set to longest setting, my other dies have been fine.

I have a couple of different ones and set them up on turrets so I can prep my brass, I can have 2 calibers on each turret, I also have the one with the handle but have been looking at the one for screw guns, I'm thinking one of the lightweight 4v ones
