Tonight I started working on about 100 once fired 30-06 brass that I had bought for reloading. I got used to reloading for 9mm and this is my first time with bottleneck cases. These are for my Garand. Cases were cleaned when I got them so I started with the depriming and a full length resize. That was easy. Next came trim to length. I had bought the LEE Quick-Trim that mounts on the press and has the crank. I already know I want something different because it took me almost 2 hrs to do about 100 cases. It had no consistency and I had to stop and check every case and do them again to try to get them about the same. They would range anywhere from 2.490-2.479 after trimming. It took multiple tries on each one, but I finally got them all from 2.479-2.481.(a little under the trim to length). What would be my best option for a trimmer that would easily see under 1,000 cases per year for use? I don't want anything to do with this trimmer again. I don't mind being bored while doing this but I would just like to be able to trim once and go on to the next one and not have to keep measuring each one multiple times.
