I had a full rack of ribs tonight. Well I ended up sharing them but they were damn good. A nice tangy sauce too.

I wouldn't say that by any means. It goes fast and trims the brass with a very clean square cut. Setting it up is definitely headstamp dependent. For trimming brass below the max length, it works. For trimming with any consistency all of your brass in one go without having to reset the tool, doesn't seem to fit the bill.

Sounds perfect for blaster ammo. So the question is: would you buy it again or recommend it for any particular purpose?

I don't know if that's a fair assessment based on the complaints of one guy who has never used any other trimmer... [Dunno]

Well, based on my initial testing, it works great for blaster ammo. It trimmed my <1.760" cases to less than that, which makes them usable. In some instances though, when I set it up for 1.745", it would trim to 1.755, which isn't much from the limit. That's why I say headstamp dependent. This isn't my final opinion though, still working that up and I'll make a thread in the other PWT thread (the actual reloading forum [LOL] ) about it when done but it probably won't be for a few more weeks.

However, I'm sure that if you only have one headstamp of brass, it'll work perfectly with great repeatability. My Fed cases are all 1.745" +/- 0.002, which is perfectly acceptable for the speed I can process them. I still will probably buy one for 308 match ammo, but won't be processing hundreds upon hundreds of 308 cases, so I can take the time to set it up for a headstamp before processing (if I end up with mixed headstamp brass).

Otherwise, a cure all would be to keep one piece of each headstamp that is trimmed to your desired length and use that to set up the tool each time.

Agreed, I definitely don't think its a POS. It trims brass, but I believe it has a steep learning curve on setting it up. I feel they should mention the differences you can see in various brass manufacturers due to variances in the shoulder dimensions, and not just claim +/- 0.001" across the board.

eta: And thanks for the backhanded compliment [LOL]
