Nitesite,

"Remember that you trim AFTER full-length or neck sizing. Never before."

Why is that? I usually trim before sizing, thinking I would get more uniform sizing. Is that not correct?
 
Its common practice to do it after sizing because the only stretching of the case after that is crimping them...

If you do it before sizing the metal can stretch and undo what you just did
 
Problem I'm having is, after sizing (neck usually) my 223 - the trimmer won't fit in the case. Thoughts?

I get around this by using a universal decap die, pop out primer, trim, then size.

Figure this is better than not trimming and getting excessive pressures.

dalv,

Does this give you proper length and proper headspace off of the shoulder when the rounds are chambered?

As you are neck-sizing only, is this a bolt gun?
 
mine was tight also , I took a little sand paper and took a few thousands off the shank of the trimmer, seems to be a common problem with them.
