your video is the 1st I have seen that showed how to use this tool and set it for the length you need !!!!!!

Great explanation on use of tool, keep up the great work!

I just got mine in yesterday. Really looking forward to trying it out. I'm still pretty new to reloading so this is my first experience with case trimming. Thanks a lot for the informative video and great content. It was a huge help in getting mine set up.

Big Ed, thanks for the video on this product and as the other guy said below, you are the only one who goes into detail on how to use the Lyman Case trimmer. Thanks

Thanks Ed i ordered one of these a few days ago awesome little machine

Tks! So far best vid showing how ajust the tool properly!

The best explanation ever!! Great video!!

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

Great video and great information

Great video,thx for sharing 🎉

Thank you, very informative.

I get a case that is the correct length put it in the chuck and adjust it . Perfect every time ! Great video!!

Great Video Sir I recently came across alot of reloading equipment from a foreclosured house clean out It was an amazing score !! But I'm setting up a station in my basement to reload 308 , 30/30 270 ect... Your video is very helpful

awesome vid man

Excellent. Thanks for that vid, Ed. -Gunny T sends

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!

Good video. Thanks

Good vid ! Thanks.

great instructions. Thanks!

Thank you for this!

Good video ! I think the reason Lyman recommends you size first is so the pilot fits correctly. The advantage of this lathe is that it uses the case head as a index but it relies on the pilot for a concentric cut

Thanks Ed imma gonna get the Lyman trimmer for my 308 as well

thanks for the information

Sanks from Russia with love!

Clear and simple to the point, very nicely done instructional video, thanks!

Excellent! I was just putting this Lyman trimmer on my amazon wish list for .308WIN. Question: Once it is set to the length you want.....does it tend to shift measurements/get loose?

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?

You locked the inner ring down, but I wondered why you did not slide forward and lock the outer adjustment ring down after you got the desired set up. Thanks

question for you, if the case length is below 2005 will it affect accuracy?

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!

I have a Lyman case trimmer very well accurate put can't use it because the micrometer set screw does not hold on the hardened shaft an renders the length ability useless.... so in the draw it stays....

Will this work for straight walled cases? I need to trim 44 mag to hold a special type of projectile.

You can get away with this. I guess it all depends on the quality and level of accuracy expected from your ammunition.

RESIZING the case stretches the necks. It makes zero sense to trim before resizing. Beware of "experts" making videos and posting them on youtube.

Good video ! I think the reason Lyman recommends you size first is so the pilot fits correctly. The advantage of this lathe is that it uses the case head as a index but it relies on the pilot for a concentric cut
