Great review!
I'm a fan of the quick trim and I can't wait to get one of these. I have a heavy, low-speed corded drill with a momentary foot switch. Hopefully, if my drill weighs enough, and I make a rig to keep it from spinning, I can use my hands to run the press and feed the brass. There's no end to the lengths of my laziness.
Camera is almost always blurry. I like this. I've been using the RCBS 3-way trimmers. Both with the hand wheel and removal of it and mounting a drill. It heats really old holding the case after a while. I've had carpal tunnel release surgery in both wrists. This thing no matter how often I may need to replace Bart's is much easier and accurate. There are tips and tricks to get a feel for making the trim more accurate and consistent. I also have the RCBS Case prep station. This trimmer from Lee is a great tool for any reloader to have in their box of tricks.
you are going to run through a lot of chamfer blades because of the number of turns you do and the presures you are applying. I just went down this road with Lee. Try using a battery powered screw driver and lighten up on the presures and number of turns. IMHO
Yes they go in the case and you dump them out after trimming each case. Sometimes the shavings will build up in the die so I blow it out every 20 to 30 cases.
Thanks for the review.
I'm wondering about fine adjustments? Lee advertises that this tool will make adjustments down to .001. A click adjustment.
After several 1000 cases this is nice.
'just ordered one. I can't wait. I hate almost all current trimming methods. Too time-consuming. I made a video on 4 methods using Lee products, before the power-trim method.

Why do you not use the spacer please
Can you adjust the die to get exact measurements between all cases ran through the die?
You are Harlan Williams. Nice.
Where do all the brass cuttings go? Do they fall in the case?
Make sure lube is removed from cases otherwise die will not grip cases and they will spin and cutter will not cut. If you let them spin the plastic inside the die will wear and no longer grip cases.
Also remove primer arm from ram and fill the slot with tissue paper, otherwise shavings will travel into press body and eventually make it hard to raise and lower ram.

Good tip..I'm waiting for mine from midway. I'll take your advice.
I purchased the Lee deluxe power quick trim kit after reading and watching videos on how quick and accurate to 0.001 of an inch this was. I was intending on trimming 9 mm cases and if I liked it was going to purchase a set for all the calibers I reload. The specs in my reloading manual states the max case length is 0.0754" and a trim to length of 0.744" with 10 adjustments of 0.001". the very smallest length this will cut is to 0.0751". and the adjustment dial does not stay put where you set this. I called Lee and spoke with a technitian and he told me I was exspecting far to much accuracy from the tool. I quess I was exspecting to trim the case to the starting trim length for the specified calber. The technician stated that it will trim it somewhere within 0.754" and 0.744" and thats good enough. I reload for consistancy and accuracy not close enough or good enough to shoot. If I am gooing to take the time and effort to trim the cases i want them all the same not somewhere in a range. So the 10 increments of 0.001" dial is to get it whithin a range of 0.754" and 0.751" not where you want it. I wanted to return it and was told to return it to the dealer who I purchased it from who does not take returns.this is not a precision instrument. Not worth having in my opinion.
I wouldn’t count on any power reloading tool to be capable of the high precision you are wanting. In fact….i wouldn’t count on anything from Lee to be too precise, which is funny considering their name is Lee PRECISION. That’s a job for a hand trimmer for sure.
But for a good enough job when converting hundreds of 223 to 300 blackout….itll do the job. It has done for 9 years now.
This is good for range shooting and making a lot of acceptable range rounds in a short time, My Lee pro 1000 will load 600+ rounds easily in a couple of hours.
I can keep all of the rounds on a 3" target at 100 yards no problem using all lee reloading stuff with bulk powder and pull down parts too. Paid for itself in just a month or so of shooting.
When you want High accuracy you do each step by hand as any fine craftsman would with the appropriate tools and expenses, that's not what this is for at all, as he stated he's not a match shooter.
great video! thanks.
The motive is to trim all cases within the specs. consistently. A thin lube is a good aid and simply use a vacuum to clean up the shavings. Good review.... For example with the 45/70 case when using the Hornady FTX bullets you need to shorten the case below spec. I guess the die won't let you make those alterations. Havn't tried it yet but was wondering.
good review - keep the videos coming...
Thanks! I'm planning to do some more videos now that it's warming up. My garage isn't insulated and it really sucks out there in the winter.
just place ur hand behind the case and the camera will focus
Good Job
Thank you
Does anyone get consistent trim lengths with these things? Mine gives me crazy variations in case length no matter how careful I am.
I had the same issue. You need to apply more force to the trimmer (I use hand crank, not drill, but more force solved my issue)
need to take out ball bearing from cutter only for bigger brass like 308 30-06 need that much pressure
he is doing 300blkout which is a 308 cal.
Nice vid! I use a 2 - speed screwdriver (600rpm) . It's vertical inline design distributes the weight and eliminates the side torque created by the offset weight of a drill. I also have a RCBS RS5 press that will eliminate the play in the Lee speed socket. Okay, where did you get your plastic containers?
That’s a good idea! I still use this exact setup to this day and have absolutely zero issues with it. I love this thing. I got my plastic containers at Walmart like 7-8 years ago. They were 50 cents each. I’m sure they have something similar still. Thanks for watching.
@@TourmotoDesign can you tell me the product name of your drill. I just want to find one that has enough speed/power but is not too big

It might be advisable to use an electric screwdriver instead if a drill. Unless you are able to set up a system above that where the drill is coming straight down all the time, you are putting allot of pressure on the sides if the cutter and will probably see more wear from that. i think it would shorten the life ofnthe cutters and possible start cutting at angles.
Going to try this soon with a little black and decker 3.4 volt lithium should be light enough and at least spin the trimmer as fast as the manual crank one.
Hi, I'm about to get one. Can you have the trimmer running while you load a new case?
Jerry Fang I guess you technically could but it might not be a great idea. I could see that causing excess wear to the die and trimmer. It’s only meant to spin a couple times every few seconds.....constantly spinning would probably require some oil and that would get messy.
I'm also pretty sure it will bind the brass it should be fully seated in the die before you engage the drill at least thats what happened to my 308 brass the bottlenecks get roughed up
You would probably get a more repeatable cut if you weren't using a breech lock press. there seems to be quite a bit of play in the quick change bushing.
30ROUNDCLIPAZINE totally agree. Since this video was made I’ve switched my single stage press to a non quick change style. It was giving me issues with my 30-06 and 308 loads as well. For trimming blackout and 223 I’m not super concerned about a little play in the bushing just cause I only load those for plinking and I’m not concerned about extreme consistency.
Thanks for the update. I'll look into buying one of these.
Blow-out rimmings with air compressor every 10 cases or so
Aren’t you supposed to remove the ball bearing when using 300blk?
223 yes
Clint Eastwood: ball in for larger calibres and ball out for 223 or thereabouts.....
@@elduderoony8171 amen
I just got mine and have about 2000+ LC cases to do, a real time saver for the first 30 then it quits chamfering the outside, I checked it and the blades are gummed up with brass shavings. OK 10 minutes disassembly then cleaning, reassembly and off to work again.... same thing again, not much of a time saver. When it works it works when it don't it DON"T. If you only do a box of 20 it is the one for you.
Seems like you're giving each case way too many rotates with the trimmer.
These cases were much longer than usual because they were oversized.....they are cut down cases made from .223. When you just do normal trimming it takes a lot less turns to trim to length.
You cannot over trim a case. It will only trim so far.
just out of curiosity - what is the deal with the rubber gloves...no reflection on you, but in my opinion, a little lead (not excessive levels )is OK for the immune system. Nowadays everyone is worried about freakin' peanut allergies as if a PB&J was radioactive...Again, not critiquing you for wearing gloves and/or your video.
im just worried someone might see my fingerprint on camera and steal my identity........thanks Obama!
no the real reason is cause i am around oils and chemicals all day long and i hate having to scrub my hands after doing my leisure hobby too.
Lead is toxic and once in your body never leaves. It accumulates until you suffer adverse effects. Your immune system has nothing to do with lead exposure. Ignorance is not a virtue.
Good video, but it made me cringe to see you put the tool in the vise with those teeth on the jaws. You should put a piece of leather or rubber around the tools to protect it from the teeth.
adjust the tool
