Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rez Exelon" data-source="post: 3592549" data-attributes="member: 5800">[ATTACH=full]209679[/ATTACH]I do most of my case work with a lathe where possible --- it really speeds operations so I have to include a glamor shot. I'd vacuum the brass dust every 50-100 rounds when it looked like this. Note that here, I was setup to trim/chamfer/deburr but I could only do that for the UNprimed cases. The lee case trimmer cannot be used with primed cases, so I had to do those on the Acculine not seen here. For those, I'd trim them, then still bring them to the lathe for chamfer/deburr as it was significantly easier on my hands, and much much faster. Also, for the unprimed brass I also hit them with a crimp remover.[ATTACH=full]209680[/ATTACH]Finally, some shots of the finished product. I trimmed these to 1.359 +/- .004 (EDIT: See note in post below) with the majority being at 1.360 and 1.361. I'm fine with a variance there as they are all in spec, and will be plinking rounds anyways. To tighten that up I'd have need to sort all by headstamp and adjusted the trimmer to the batches I guess.  I just need to load primers into the bottom ones to call it good. But they do nicely show that at least for the efforts these are brand new never first Lake City for the most part. The top ones you can see some of the other brands (FC/Speer) if you look close enough.</blockquote>
