Though with the WFT, I'm sure it'll go faster than with a manual trimmer. And note to self, save a milk jug. Apparently the WFT throws shavings like you wouldn't believe and I need to create a container to catch it all.

Yeah, i have about 1k .223 cases that are ready for trimming and another 1.5k that are ready for sizing. I probably have about 4k more that are still untouched.

Those are two unrelated pieces of information.

Ah, I'm not that fortunate to have 4k untouched. Most of mine are already cleaned/sized/decapped, part of that 2k is primed, but I believe I can still trim them.

The hard part will be running through my brass trying to find that perfect piece of brass that measures 1.750" to setup the tool.

Use your current trimmer to make one 1.750. My basic Lee trimmer cuts them 1.750 +/- .002 every time, but it's just a PITA to use.

And that 4k untouched is just part of what I've shot over the past 5 years. I always saved my brass, knowing that I wanted to eventually start reloading.

It's like... it's like ... like they just shrank it and re-released the SAME THING they've always done!! [LOL]

Yep nothing compatible, much smaller scale. I could have trimmed a ny1 to fit in but screw it.

Current trimmer? [ROFL1]

Oh wait... you were serious? [Tooth]

I don't have a trimmer, hence my jumping at purchasing one to be the guinea pig.

Hmm, well I guess thats to be expected. It is a single stack after all, right?
