But I don't want to wait until March for it. If anybody has one and wants to part with it, let me know. I'll pay price of new one plus shipping. Need it for .223 and .30-06. Doug Giraud is away until the 20th of January.

don't waste your time.
If you want a Giraud, get a Giraud. a Gracey can't do the job as well (even with the 3way cutter blade upgrade, it's a *light* duty machine). the 3 people i know who had graceys all sold them and bought one of dougs machines.

I have a Gracey. I think it's a bit messier than the Giraud trimmers, and setup is definitely fussier, but for somebody (which is to say me) who's leaving it set up to prep moderate amounts of .223 it's the bee's knees.
Jasper, could you expand on "*light* duty"? Is that a commentary on the undersized motor or something else? (If so, I wonder if this is a bigger problem for .30 shooters.)
hard to explain. yes, the motor is underpowered for larger cases (or heavy trimming), and its considerably messier. the giraud is considerably more "fluid" i guess is the word. I made my choice after seeing them side by side (a buddy of mine bought a giraud before he had sold his gracey).
