Re: Case Trimmer Word To The Wise

I was going to buy this unit until I learned about the shell holders here a few months ago. Besides, I avoid Hornady equipment because their quality control is non-existent.

Re: Shot the 300 win mag today

I bought a Winchester 338 Win mag about 20 years ago. I can shoot it maybe 12 times and that is it. It weighs a ton and I would not want to carry it in the woods all day.

Does this depend on which brass you are reloading? How about the type of powder being used? How about the press/powder drop?
