    Almost done with the first 5 gallon bucket of 223 for the size/trim.

    Curious as to what others do after trimming using the Dillon RapidTrim. Edges of the brass feel pretty sharp, but there doesn't appear to be any burrs. Do you bother to chamfer/deburr? Will be using 55 gr FMJBT, so I don't think they will be shaved when seating, and these are just plinking rounds - mixed brass.

    Just toss it in a tumbler for 1.5 - 2 hours and the edges will soften up. I slightly overload my tumbler so the brass will rub against each other.

    Thanks, that was what I was hoping to hear.
