For a more consistent trim. Turn the case as it’s cutting.
There are 3D printed adapters you can get for straight walled brass. But, yes, it is generally not necessary to trim straight walled brass.
I’ve had mine for a couple years now. I replaced the cutting head with the RCBS carbide one. This was a game changer and now it takes a second to trim and I get way better consistency.
do you happen to have the part/model number for that RCBS head?
@@Tyanmax99 Model: 90250 good luck it's always out of stock everywhere.
I was looking for a case trimmer to do my 223 and saw your video and demonstration. I got one and am looking forward to using it. Thank you for a very informative video.
I want to address the problem of trimming 300 blackout or any other cartridges that are hard to hold while trimming. I’ll try to make this short, I don’t have the strength in my hands that I used to. I discovered that I could use a Lee hand priming tool to hold the case while trimming it and it works great. I do prime the cases before I trim and this allows the priming tool to grip the case securely. I’m working on modifying the priming tool so you don’t have to prime first. I will post the results of that later but for now I suggest you give this method a try if you’re having trouble gripping the cases.
Good review the Franklin case trimmer is available at Sportsman's warehouse.
Definately a great unit, I had mine for awhile now. Its not the do all tool(one doesn't exist) but it does more than most. I used a Dillon trimmer but then wanted this to chamfer and deburr. But works great for trimming in medium quantities and its fast to setup. Great Video
Thank you for the video! It is very informative!
Dang was thinking about getting one of these until I saw this video. 9 thousandths is bad! Personally 1 thousandth is my standard for trimming and sizing. Glad I saw this video so I didn't spend the money on this product.
Update I did end up buying one and trying it. I did buy the rcbs carbide cutter right off the bat. Out of 50 cases the most I was off was +-.001 which I consider that pretty dang good for the price!
@@Wyo_Roadhunter What/which RCBS carbide cutter?
@@DeaconParsons just type in rcbs carbide trimmer and the one that has threads should be it. It'll look just like the one that came in the frankford arsenal trimmer.
I'm glad that you had more consistent results. Like you 9 thousandths is too much for me.
I bought one of these and get results around 3 thousands with the original blade but it’s only had about 800 or 900 223 rounds on it
6:45 Good to know! Ordered it at the same time
Good vid im putting this on my list /im older know and having problems with my hands so this should be great
I like mine but as you mention, the difficulties with 300 BLK leave me looking for another solution. Not only is the case very short and hard to hold onto but the shoulder is so small that the indexing collar ring thing doesn't sit as it should. I contacted them to see if they had suggestions or were looking to address the issues but I just got a standard reply of nothing. I think they are really missing a huge market with so many people converting 5.56 brass to 300 BLK.
What are you using for 300 BO?
Thinking about the lyman case trim express.
Nice tool and great video, however, I would recommend you not grind out the primer pockets. You may wind up with primer pocket blow-out. Recommend you get a swaging tool to swage the primer pockets. I've had both 223 and 308 primer pocket blow-outs. I use a RCBS swaging tool for 223 and 308
I used to cut them with a hornady cutter, I started using the rcbs swager but it takes longer to process brass. I run 2 presses, a single stage to stage and an ammo plant to load. I recommend either, never had a blowout in 15 years of action shooting , 3gun and idpa.
i just bought one today for $169.95. Best price that I found. Can't wait to use it on my hundreds of 36-06 cases that I have.
Great info!! Thanks!
I have reloaded pistol until now, I didn't know how this tool makes one's life easier; came to see here because Midway USA has it now on sale for $150.00 out of $200.00 so i may have to cough up the $$ and get it, i want to reload .223 and now 762x39
Just bought this unit to replace a POS Lyman case prep xpress. All of the gears on the Lyman product are made of plastic or similar material. The central drive gear lost about 80% of the gear teeth. Lyman will not sell the gears, so it's a dead product. I'm hoping the gears on the Frankford Arsenal product are metal of some sort. Does anyone know about this?
Great looking tool. Just wish it had 1 more boss so you could have the crimp cutter and primer pocket brush. Currently using the lee quick trim deluxe. There is one that will work with a power tool.
Nice review . I've looked into these. I'm doing all my with a manual trimmer . Takes to much time!
The trimmer measures from the datum line of the shoulder afaik so the measurements should be done accordingly
Never understood the expression for tightening or loosening. However for right hand threads curl the fingers of your right hand with thumb extended. Point your thumb in the direction you want the bolt or nut to go. Your fingers represent the way you should turn the object to go in the direction your thumb is pointing. For left hand threads you just use you left hand in the same way.
What if you don't have a left hand and you want to take the nut off? I'll always end up turning towards the fingers on my right hand which will tighten it. Hence the righty tighty lefty losey (turn it to the right to tighten or to the left to loosen for normal threaded nuts and bolts) or clockwise to tighten counterclockwise to loosen. If it is one of those foreign threaded nuts and bolts (threaded to counteract the torque of the turning motor) do the opposite of righty tighty lefty losey which would be lefty tighty righty losey. Simple. Your explanation is not very handicapped friendly. I'm calling the ADA police on you.
Thank You
Thanks
Bought the wrong voltage (240V). Can I use ANKCE Europe to USA Plug Converter to power the trimmer?
You had to buy the tool to remove the primer crimp, do you have a link to it? I'm new to this and trying to get the right thing.
What material are the gears made from? I bought a Hornady case chamfering and de-burring tool and found out (after using it twice!) that the gears turning the tool heads are made from plastic or nylon!! This was not a cheaply priced unit (I believe I paid about $140-$150 for this POS) and two of the gears broke in half while chamfering some mil-spec brass! I have been disappointed with tools before but this one was aggravating in the extreme!! Again what a POS!!
I’m not sure about the material but I’d imagine it’s meta. I’ve done thousands of cases at this point and no signs of wear on the machine.
I wish you had started with which shoulder bushing to use for 223. It's not very clear in the FA directions. I just got mine today and every time I push in a shell it hits the shoulder bushing almost every time.
Should I be doing this for pistol ammo, 9.. 357sig and mag?
at 5:40 did you say "come at me bro"? LMAO!
question: where do all the brass shavings go when you are trimming ?
All over your bench. I put a butter lid under it, keeps cleaning easy
Was the brass shoulder bumped first? If not accuracy tests would require measurements off the shoulder, not oal
My dillon trimmer will trim to a more consistent length by a mile!
what is the minimum trim possible like .003?? You said 1/8 turn is .005
Have you had any trouble with the lock nut getting stuck??
I did today, just opened mine and was stuck,i sprayed wd40 on it and used screwdriver in the holes to turn it while holding lock nut with strap of leather and finally got it
Would love to know what calipers you've chosen to use. In fact, I'd like feedback from anyone reading this. Looking to get something in a decent price range that reads thousandths. I'm on a budget, but I'm willing to pay for accuracy. I just ordered this tool and appreciate your vid. Very helpful. Hoping it suits me for .300 blackout as well! Thank you!
@Bob Watters Thanks a bunch for the helpful response! That's great to know!
I picked up the Pittsburg Digital calipers from Harbor Freight and have been very happy with them
The wft is a better cutter because this one has issues with consistency.
What is the make of the primer pccket swager
THis would probably work, right?
The Lyman reamer and cleaner accessory set - www.midwayusa.com/product/1012872617
Or this: www.midwayusa.com/product/1016958750?pid=695742
Dillon Super Swage 600..FOR mil spec or 5.56 NATO brass..
Why is there no information on resizing brass with Frankford arsenal press????
Because this isn’t a video about the Frankfort Arsenal Press
@@OreGear you answered a different question.
A 0.009 spread is way outside my view or repeatable results.
Hey I agree with you! I did end up buying one though and trying it. I did buy the rcbs carbide cutter right off the bat. Out of 50 cases the most I was off was +-.001 which I consider that pretty dang good for the price!
He misspoke I believe with his decimal number, when he actually gives the lengths his distance off was not .009 but .0009, so 1 thousands off essentially.
Digital calipers read in .0005 increments. That being said, he couldn't have measured at 9/10s of a thousandth.
correct.. he called out the lengths. and they were .0009 spread, not .009 .
Did I hear you right, 9 thousandths spread for 5 cases? That is not acceptable and if this is the best this machine can do than it's not worth buying, or you're doing something wrong.
Nun of these videos show you removing the primer from the Military crimp. I broke my pin trying to remove the primers from military crimp cases. Can you show that?????
Why would I show how to remove a primer in a video that has nothing to do with depriming?
@@OreGear I disagree
😂 k
@@OreGear if I am unable to remove the crimped primer what good would your machine be ??
If you want to know about decapping/depriming, you may want to watch reviews for, oh I don’t know, decapping/depriming tools.
I can’t get mine set for shit.
Spread of nine-thousands is NOT acceptable.
Please do not give excuses for the slack of precision. That much differential on your overall case link also means that your crimp will not be uniform. This will give you very poor standard deviation’s and extreme spread. Find another way. This one is not it
too slow
Maybe drop the calipers from more height?!
Pleasant voice.
Accuracy is not this unit's forte. For a weekend blaster, I'm sure this will be adequate.....
I guess it boils down to: "Small tolerances are expensive, what are your parameters?"
6 thousands... that sucks
