Triming Cases

[Nuclearcricket]

Thanks all for your input. It has been some very interesting reading. As to the Wilson trimmer, JB, no there isn't any pilots on the Wilson, as your case is held in a cylinder that matches the outside taper of your case. C-H either does or did at one time make one like the Wilson and I just passed on one cheaply the other weekend at a gun show. If you hit gun shows, keep an eye out for a Wilson they can often be picked up at reasonable prices used.
As things stand for me at this moment, I will wait and see what the actual chamber length is when I get my rifle back, hopefully this week, and move forward from there. Once the brass is all fire formed I can make a decision from there as to what I need to do and how I will do it.
The powder I have picked for my first fire forming session will be some old Elephant FFFg. The charge was set at 78 gr by weight. That will be pushing the 480 gr Accurate bullet that I had Tom make me. One thing that I had forgotten about Elephant is that it is very dusty. I had a big cloud of dust roll up when I pored the powder into the measure. It is compressed about .130. That should work to get bullets down range, but not sure how well that stuff will shoot.
Time to set and wait unpatiently I guess.
