Trimming 7.62 x 25 cases

[res45]

How do you guys trim your 7.62 x 25 cases, Lee doesn't make a case length gage trimmer for the round except by custom order,nobody makes a trim file die I have a Lyman trimmer but I'm not sure which pilot to use or if one will work any suggestions would be appreciated.

Use the .308" / .30 cal. pilot.

They need to be resized before trimming.

Thanks rcmodel that what I was thinking I would end up doing anyways. Starline brass recommends trimming 7.62x25 O.A.L. to between .959 to .962 whats funny is all the factory ammo I measured was between these specs. .978 to .983 and they seem to shoot fine in the CZ 52 but I'm going to trim them back to around the .960 and try a few out.

Midway has the 7.62 x 25 Lee trimmer pilot/gauge here.
