I finally put my Wilson case trimmer through a workout over the last few days after getting the backordered .223 case holder in my hands.
I mounted it on a fairly large hunk of 2x10 after tapping a few holes through the trimmer bed. The oversized mounting board, about 12-13 inches long, is a help when taking the whole shebang out on case trimming junketts.
The extra surface area is handy for trimming on your lap. It also gives you space to store deburring tools, brushes and other sundry items in different sized holes drilled into the deck. I also will have a trough on both sides of the trimmer bed to catch brass chips and a rubber pad epoxied to the surface with which to tap the case in and out of the holder.
There was a little trial & error as far as getting the right setting for the desired 1.750 case length, but after doing a slew of cases there was no change or variation.
Nothing's written in stone.......I'll make changes as time goes on if I find I need them, but all in all, I don't think I could be happier. It surely seems easier and quicker than what I used previously.
Money VERY well spent.
