I posted this question on another thread and did not get an answer since it was not real relevant to the thread topic.
I currently trim the military pocket crimps on 223 with the cutaway method. I have a Wilson "lathe" and a carbide cutter that removes the military crimp one by one. Put it on, trim it, and take it off. It is very time consuming.
I toyed with buying s Dillon table swager but could not bring myself to drop the $ 124 to $ 150.
I see the RCBS on sale for $ 25 and am tempted to take a shot.
BUT I cannot understand how you can set it up for say 223 and have it work for 2 or 3 hundred cases when, even with the same headstamp, each case will vary in length. It seems that you have to reset the die for each case due to different case lengths.
What am I missing?
