I have used this case trimmer on about 1,000 .223/5.56 cases and it works well. As far as sizing before trimming, you have to do both anyway, and I prefer to have my cases sized prior to trimming. Plus unsized cases sometimes (most of the time in my experience) have case mouth's too small for the pilot to fully fit into. I have found the RCBS Small Base Sizing/Decapping dies work best for a case mouth opening that fits the pilot well. Thanks for the video!

you need to resize first because the cartridge stretches over the expander when you resize it. It's pointless to trim before sizing....

I have also found that if you don't resize/decap first the pilot sometimes will not fit into the mouth of the case. I use RCBS Small Base sizing die for my .223/5.56 brass. Found out the hard way that the Hornady .223/5.56 sizing die closed the case mouth too much for the pilot to fit. Plus I prefer the small base sizing dies over the standard ones.

Question? Why would you trim then resize makes no sense as when you trim then resize you change the length of the case after resizing the case will grow! Also put the pilot into the case then lock the chuck your case will be perfect in alinement with the cutter and the bullet will have good alinement in the case also your crimp with be perfect not high or low from side to side!

Great video. Not too long, not too wordy, Stayed on topic and I now understand about case trimming. I ordered this exact trimmer today. I ordered a RCBS Roch Chukker surpreme a year or more ago. It’s just been collecting dust. When I got it mounted and started researching I found it didn’t come with a case trimmer or tumbler. I have about 100pieces prince fired 458 socom brass that I will be starting soon. Then some 45-70 and .308. I will be watching the rest of your videos that are relevant. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. One question:.: IVe heard some say tumbling isn’t necessary. Whats says you?

Excellent video my friend! I have a question..I’m new to reloading & I’ll be reloading 308 only for the time being. I have a load of once fired PPU & Hornady brass (about 200 cases) & these have varying lengths ranging from 1.998-2.010. I do know the minimum is 1.995 & max 2.015. When these get close to 2.015 I will trim them back to 2.005 as recommended. Obviously I can’t trim the cases which are currently below this but should I trim the ones which are over 2.005? Or will all the cases I have be good to get sized..primed etc?

@Pat V I’ll partly agree with you. If brass is getting trimmed, you always size it beforehand. If the batch of brass I have in front of me was trimmed before I fired it, I probably won’t trim it this time.

@@kris308100 Okay, I recommend ALWAYS trim AFTER resizing. As stated in other replies, the neck will grow after resizing. However, after resizing, the mouth of the case has been reformed to the SAAMI specs or very close to them, thus making the brass case sometimes difficult if not impossible to fit over the collet let alone removing the brass from the collet. Simple fix is to ream the mouth of the brass prior to installing it on the collet. This will always (usually) solve the issue(s) you are experiencing.
