<i>Close-up of the Tri-Way Trimmer with clear plastic chip guard removed.</i></p>
<p>Giraud Tool offers a case trimmer/chamferer device that works with a power drill (or other power source). Giraud&#8217;s patented <a href="https://giraudtool.com/giraud-tri-way-trimmer/" target="_blank">Tri-Way Trimmer</a> is a self-contained unit powered by your drill or motor. Using a sharp <strong>carbide blade</strong> it will trim your cases to length, deburr, and cut both inside and outside chamfers &#8212; all in one pass. That&#8217;s pretty impressive for a <strong>$120.00 tool</strong> that fits in the palm of your hand.</p>
<p><img src="https://accurateshooter.net/pix/giraud1902.jpg" alt="Giraud Tri Way Trimmer Case Cutter tool"></p>
<p><big><b>Product Features</b><br />
1. Fully adjustable for cartridge length (and depth of chamfer).<br />
2. Carbide blade cuts a 15&deg; inside case mouth chamfer and 45&deg; outside chamfer.<br />
3. Case holder supported by sealed ball bearing raceway.<br />
4. Tool includes removable, transparent plastic chip guard.<br />
5. Tool can work in any orientation (vertical, horizontal, or any angle).</big></p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.giraudtool.com/giraud-tri-way-trimmer.html" target="_blank">Giraud Tri-Way Trimmer</a> is designed to be powered by a portable hand drill, drill press, or other dedicated rotating power source. The tool indexes off the shoulder of your cases, but the blade adjusts so that cartridge overall length (COAL) can be controlled with precision. Constructed out of 6061-T6 aluminum and 303 stainless steel, the Tri-Way tool should last a lifetime. Note: This tool is not universal. The Tri-Way is dedicated to a single cartridge and &#8220;related&#8221; cartridges with similar body dimensions. Thus you need a specific tool for each cartridge family. For example, the .308 Win tool will also trim .243 Win, .260 Rem, and 7mm-08.</p>
<p><strong>Cartridge Sizes Available for Giraud Tri-Way Trimmer:</strong><br />
.223 Remington (Also trims .17 Remington, .204 Ruger, .222 Remington, .222 Remington Magnum)<br />
7.62 x 39mm (Russian)<br />
.300 Blackout (Also trims .17 Rem Fireball, .20 Vartarg, .221 Fireball)<br />

.30-06 Springfield (Also trims .25-06, .270 Winchester, .280 Remington)<br />

<p>A good case trimmer is an essential tool for precision hand-loading. To ensure consistent loads, you want your cases to be the exact same length. Today&#8217;s Saturday Showcase features five trimming tools, both powered and manually operated, that can trim your sized brass with great precision. In addition, some of these tools will also chamfer case necks inside and out. The powered case trimmers will save you considerable time (and effort) when working will large batches of brass.</p>
<p>Lead photo shows the Henderson Gen 2 trimmer from <a href="https://youtu.be/a_QGZ1yrye8" target="_blank">Panhandle Precision</a> video review.</p>
<h2>Henderson Gen 3 Power Trimmer &#8212; Ultimate Reloader Review</h2>
<p><iframe width="600" height="340" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ihChs1UWxgk" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Gavin Gear of <a href="https://ultimatereloader.com/2022/06/22/henderson-v3-case-trimmer-unboxing-overview-setup-trimming/" target="_blank">UltimateReloader.com</a> has tested the impressive Henderson Gen 3 (V3) Trimmer. You&#8217;ll find a full <a href="https://ultimatereloader.com/2022/06/22/henderson-v3-case-trimmer-unboxing-overview-setup-trimming/" target="_blank">write-up on Gavin&#8217;s website</a>, and you can watch Gavin&#8217;s 18.7-minute video review above.</p>
<p>Gavin states: &#8220;The Henderson Gen 3 case trimmer is built on an adjustable tri-trim 3-way cutter with different pilots to accommodate different case necks. Three-way cutters trim to length and chamfer the inside and outside all at once. This trimmer has a 1700 RPM spindle and a custom DC motor made in the USA. The Henderson trimmer works much like a milling machine. You do not need much torque because of the way the taper works. The Henderson Gen 3 trimmer delivered outstanding cartridge length consistency after trimming. This trimmer is <strong>fast and easy to use</strong> and most importantly, returns consistent results.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://youtu.be/a_QGZ1yrye8" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for <a href="https://youtu.be/a_QGZ1yrye8" target="_blank">Henderson Gen 2 Trimmer</a> video review, which shows how to how to set trim length and change cutter heads, using 6.5&#215;47 Lapua, .260 Remington, and .300 Winchester Magnum cases. </p>
<h2>Giraud Power Case Trimmer &#8212; Full Review by Erik Cortina</h2>
<p><iframe width="600" height="370" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/QuN_gDM6Tak?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>In this video, Erik Cortina of CortinaPrecision.com offers some very clever and useful tips that will help you get the most from your Giraud powered case trimmer. The Giraud trimmer is very precise. When set up correctly, it can trim brass with amazing consistency.</p>
<p><img src="https://accurateshooter.net/Blog/giraud1502.jpg" alt="Erik Cortina power case trimmer Giraud"></p>
<p>In the video, Erik trims 5 pieces of brass in 15 seconds (6:32 mark). He then measures all five with precision calipers (7:00-8:08). All lengths are exact within .0005 (half a thousandth). Erik notes that the Giraud trimmer indexes off the case shoulder. As long as you have fire-formed brass with consistent base-to-shoulder dimensions, you should get very consistent trim lengths.</p>
<h2>Lyman Powered Case Trimmer Review</h2>
<p><iframe width="600" height="340" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GbgKTXSazUo" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>The <a href="https://amzn.to/3esisyl" target="_blank">Lyman Case Trim Xpress</a> is an efficient, precise unit that allows easy adjustment of trim length with a click-adjustable collar. The trimmer comes with a set of cartridge-specific bushings that index off the case shoulder. One nice feature is a variable speed control. For the price, <a href="https://amzn.to/3esisyl" target="_blank">$146.20 on Amazon</a>, this trimmer delivers excellent performance. To see more details, check out F-Class John&#8217;s <a href="https://youtu.be/BHbi-UKPnsQ" target='_blank'>video review of the Lyman Case Trim Xpress</a> which shows set-up and operation.</p>
<h2>Frankford Arsenal Universal Case Trimmer (for Power Drills)</h2>
<p><iframe width="600" height="340" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Dz-KJ-5GL4U" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>This video features a handy tool that attaches to a portable drill. Used with various diameter collets, this can trim most popular sizes of shouldered brass. The universal collet system indexes on case shoulders for precise and consistent trimming (this does NOT work with straight-walled cartridges). The built-in depth micrometer allows for quick and precise micro-adjustments. There is a handy brass shaving ejection port. The system works well, particularly if you can stabilize your power drill in one position. This Frankford Arsenal trimmer, <a href="https://amzn.to/3OSBRLt" target="_blank">under $65.00 on Amazon</a>, is an affordable alternative to the top-end powered case trimmers. It comes with a handy plastic case that holds the trimmer and collets.</p>
<h2>L.E. Wilson Manual Case Trimmer</h2>
<p><iframe width="600" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-B5P5199fn8?si=seWht5hiL4mIvkLK" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><a href="http://www.lewilson.com/" target="_blank">L.E. Wilson</a>, makers of hand dies, case trimmers and other precision reloading tools, makes a popular and precise stainless steel case trimmer with micrometer adjustment. The above video explains the operation of the Wilson trimmer and shows how to trim cases and use the micrometer case length control positioned opposite the hand crank. We definitely like the micrometer control. This feature allows you to set the cartridge overall trim length with great precision. If you are trimming a variety of different cartridge types, the micrometer cut length control comes in very handy.</p>
<p>If you own a L.E. Wilson case trimmer, you should watch the official <a href="https://youtu.be/nAYOW8LIffI" target="_blank">Accessories Video from L.E. Wilson</a>. This video shows accessories for the L.E. Wilson trimmer. These include: Power Adapter for trimming (replaces hand crank), Titanium Case Trimmer Cutter (longer life), Inside Case Neck Reamer, Primer Pocket Reamer (removes military crimps), Uniform De-Burring Tool, Neck Chamfer Tool (30° and 45°), and handheld inside/outside deburring tool (and power adapter).</p>
<h2><font color="red">BONUS Video: How Important is Consistent Case Length?</font></h2>
<p><iframe width="600" height="340" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H1Ah4_h7os0" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>This Primal Rights video explains why it is important to maintain precise case lengths if you want best accuracy and most consistent ES/SD. You&#8217;ll want to size your cases BEFORE trimming if your trimmer indexes off the case shoulders.</p>

<p>Last week Hornady introduced a variety of new products that will be introduced in 2025. These include reloading products, advanced dies, a power case trimmer and a large variety of new bullets and ammo types. <a href="https://www.hornady.com/new-products/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to see all new-for-2025 Hornady products.</p>

<h2>Henderson-Style 3-in-1 Power Trimmer</h2>
<p><iframe title="vimeo-player" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1018814835?h=9c0152ee82" width="600" height="340" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Hornady has a new <a href="https://www.hornady.com/reloading/case-care/case-prep-tools/high-speed-case-trimmer" target="_blank">High Speed 3-in-1 Power Case Trimmer</a> that borrows many features from the excellent <a href="https://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2022/06/henderson-gen-3-trimmer-ultimate-reloader-and-f-class-john/" target="_blank">Henderson Gen 3 Trimmer</a> such as twin horizontal support shafts. This new trimmer offers quick, smooth case movement into the cutter. With a helpful see-through shield this trimmer can handle brass from 1.45&#8243; to 3.5&#8243; in length and with necks from .22 to .30 caliber.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.hornady.com/reloading/case-care/case-prep-tools/high-speed-case-trimmer" target="_blank"><img src="https://accurateshooter.net/pix/horn25trim01.jpg" alt="hornady 2025 new products bullets 6mmGT Power trimmer dies reloading ammunition"></a></p>
<p>Like the Henderson, this Hornady unit can trim, chamfer and deburr in a single step. The trimmer features a click-adjustable micrometer for precise and consistent trimming. The powerful 2000+ RPM motor allows rapid case trimming/chamfering. This unit may prove a good choice for shooters who need to process hundreds of cases.</p>
<h2>New 6mm GT Ammunition with 109gr ELD Bullets</h2>
<p><iframe title="vimeo-player" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1018814452?h=26da61de71" width="600" height="340" frameborder="0"    allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><img class="alignright" hspace="6" src="https://accurateshooter.net/pix/horn25gtammo.jpg" alt="hornady 2025 new products 6mmGT 6gt PRS ammunition">The 6mm GT is bigger than the 6mmBR Norma (aka &#8220;6BR&#8221;) but smaller than the 6mm Creedmoor. This cartridge is proving popular with PRS/NRL competitors because it feeds better from standard magazines that the shorter 6mmBR, Dasher, and 6BRA cartridges, yet it still offers very good accuracy and barrel life. 6mm GT brass is now available from Alpha Munitions. The <a href="https://www.bluecollarreloading.com/collections/alpha-munitions/products/alpha-6mm-gt-brass-with-ocd-technology?variant=39464365916258" target="_blank">Alpha 6mm GT brass</a> is better and longer-lasting than the Hornady 6mm GT brass.</p>
<p>For 2025, Hornady is producing new 6mm GT ammo loading with tipped 109gr ELD Match bullets. Hornady states: &#8220;Designed from the very beginning to be an amazing all-around precision rifle competition cartridge, the 6mm GT provides low recoil, good barrel life, and outstanding external ballistics. [The 6mmGT] cartridge and chamber were designed simultaneously to ensure match-grade tolerances and accuracy.&#8221;</p>

<h2>Match-Grade Reloading Dies</h2>
<p>For 2025, Hornady will offer &#8220;New and Improved Match Grade Dies&#8221; with click-adjust micrometer seating controls.

<p>Lyman&#8217;s popular <a href="https://amzn.to/46TvAXh" target="_blank">Case Trim Xpress</a> is an affordable, variable-speed case trimmer with a razor-sharp CARBIDE CUTTER. The Case Trim Xpress can quickly and accurately trim brass at a rate of approximately 15 cases a minute. The unit has its own power source &#8212; a strong variable-speed motor. Using the 10 provided bushings, the unit indexes off the case shoulder &#8212; that&#8217;s simple, fast and reliable. Plus a precision <strong>trim adjustment wheel</strong> allows case lengths to be easily &#8220;dialed in&#8221; to 0.001&#8243; increments. To trim your brass, simply push the case against the carbide cutter until the shoulder stops on the bushing (with precise case OAL set by the wheel). The Case Trim Xpress comes with 10 bushings that fit the most popular bottleneck rifle cartridges, so no pilots are needed. This is available now for <a href="https://amzn.to/46TvAXh" target="_blank">$142.03 on Amazon</a>.</p>

<h2>Lyman Case Trim Xpress &#8220;Hands-On&#8221; Review</h2>
<p><i>Review by F-Class John</i><br />
Case trimming can be one of the most boring and tedious steps in the reloading processes. This is largely because of outdated tools that either require manual turning, clunky pilot systems, or difficult adjustments. In order to overcome these obstacles, you might have to spend $500 for some premium systems. But Lyman&#8217;s bright orange <a href="https://amzn.to/46TvAXh" target="_blank">Case Trim Xpress</a> delivers premium trimming performance at an affordable price. Available for around $145, this trimmer offers an easily-adjustable cutting head plus a smart, shoulder-indexing bushing system to improve consistency and speed up the trimming process.</p>

<p>The Lyman Case Trim Xpress comes with the main trimming unit, power cord, and 10 bushings in a storage case. These 10 orange bushings let you trim more than 50 popular cartridge types (yes including the 6mmBR, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308 Win of course). Set-up was simple and straight-forward. Install the bushing you need, turn the unit on and slowly push a piece of brass towards the cutting head. Once the brass is fully depressed, you can start adjusting the dial one click at a time until the case makes contact. Then you start making progressive adjustments and trim until you reach your desired length. The process is so simple that it&#8217;ll leave you wondering how you ever used anything else.</p>

<p>Giraud Tool offers a case trimmer/chamferer device that works with a power drill (or other power source). Giraud&#8217;s patented <a href="https://www.giraudtool.com/giraud-tri-way-trimmer.html" target="_blank">Tri-Way Trimmer</a> is a self-contained unit powered by your drill or motor. Using a sharp <strong>carbide blade</strong> it will trim your cases to length, deburr, and cut both inside and outside chamfers &#8212; all in one pass. That&#8217;s pretty impressive for a <strong>$110.00 tool</strong> that fits in the palm of your hand.</p>
<p><img src="https://accurateshooter.net/pix/giraud1902.jpg" alt="Giraud Tri Way Trimmer Case Cutter tool"></p>
<p><big><b>Product Features</b><br />
1. Fully adjustable for cartridge length (and depth of chamfer).<br />
2. Carbide blade cuts a 15&deg; inside case mouth chamfer and 45&deg; outside chamfer.<br />
3. Case holder supported by sealed ball bearing raceway.<br />
4. Tool includes removable, transparent plastic chip guard.<br />
5. Tool can work in any orientation (vertical, horizontal, or any angle).</big></p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.giraudtool.com/giraud-tri-way-trimmer.html" target="_blank">Giraud Tri-Way Trimmer</a> is designed to be powered by a portable hand drill, drill press, or other dedicated rotating power source.

The Tri Way is dedicated to a single cartridge and &#8220;related&#8221; cartridges with similar body dimensions. Thus you need a specific tool for each cartridge family. For example, the .308 Win tool will also trim .243 Win, .260 Rem, and 7mm-08.</p>

<p>A good case trimmer is an essential tool for precision hand-loading. To ensure consistent loads, you want your cases to be the exact same length. Today&#8217;s Saturday Showcase features five trimming tools, both powered and manually operated, that can trim your sized brass with great precision. In addition, some of these tools will also chamfer case necks inside and out. The powered case trimmers will save you considerable time (and effort) when working will large batches of brass.</p>

<p>Gavin Gear of <a href="https://ultimatereloader.com/2022/06/22/henderson-v3-case-trimmer-unboxing-overview-setup-trimming/" target="_blank">UltimateReloader.com</a> has tested the impressive Henderson Gen 3 (V3) Trimmer. You&#8217;ll find a full <a href="https://ultimatereloader.com/2022/06/22/henderson-v3-case-trimmer-unboxing-overview-setup-trimming/" target="_blank">write-up on Gavin&#8217;s website</a>, and you can watch Gavin&#8217;s 18.7-minute video review above.</p>
<p>Gavin states: &#8220;The Henderson Gen 3 case trimmer is built on an adjustable tri-trim 3-way cutter with different pilots to accommodate different case necks. Three-way cutters trim to length and chamfer the inside and outside all at once. This trimmer has a 1700 RPM spindle and a custom DC motor made in the USA. The Henderson trimmer works much like a milling machine. You do not need much torque because of the way the taper works. The Henderson Gen 3 trimmer delivered outstanding cartridge length consistency after trimming. This trimmer is <strong>fast and easy to use</strong> and most importantly, returns consistent results.&#8221;</p>

<h2>Giraud Power Case Trimmer &#8212; Full Review by Erik Cortina</h2>
<p><iframe width="600" height="370" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/QuN_gDM6Tak?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>In this video, Erik Cortina of CortinaPrecision.com offers some very clever and useful tips that will help you get the most from your Giraud powered case trimmer. The Giraud trimmer is very precise. When set up correctly, it can trim brass with amazing consistency.</p>
<p><img src="https://accurateshooter.net/Blog/giraud1502.jpg" alt="Erik Cortina power case trimmer Giraud"></p>
<p>In the video, Erik trims 5 pieces of brass in 15 seconds (6:32 mark). He then measures all five with precision calipers (7:00-8:08). All lengths are exact within .0005 (half a thousandth). Erik notes that the Giraud trimmer indexes off the case shoulder. As long as you have fire-formed brass with consistent base-to-shoulder dimensions, you should get very consistent trim lengths.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://amzn.to/3esisyl" target="_blank">Lyman Case Trim Xpress</a> is an efficient, precise unit that allows easy adjustment of trim length with a click-adjustable collar. The trimmer comes with a set of cartridge-specific bushings that index off the case shoulder. One nice feature is a variable speed control. For the price, <a href="https://amzn.to/3esisyl" target="_blank">$146.20 on Amazon</a>, this trimmer delivers excellent performance. To see more details, check out F-Class John&#8217;s <a href="https://youtu.be/BHbi-UKPnsQ" target='_blank'>video review of the Lyman Case Trim Xpress</a> which shows set-up and operation.</p>
<h2>Frankford Arsenal Universal Case Trimmer (for Power Drills)</h2>

<p>This video features a handy tool that attaches to a portable drill. Used with various diameter collets, this can trim most popular sizes of shouldered brass. The universal collet system indexes on case shoulders for precise and consistent trimming (this does NOT work with straight-walled cartridges). The built-in depth micrometer allows for quick and precise micro-adjustments. There is a handy brass shaving ejection port. The system works well, particularly if you can stabilize your power drill in one position. This Frankford Arsenal trimmer, <a href="https://amzn.to/3OSBRLt" target="_blank">under $65.00 on Amazon</a>, is an affordable alternative to the top-end powered case trimmers. It comes with a handy plastic case that holds the trimmer and collets.</p>

<p><iframe width="600" height="338" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/H0ulVRZYrNk?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>This second video shows how to set up the stainless Wilson trimmer with micrometer cut-length control. The micrometer feature allows you to set the cartridge overall trim length with great precision. If you are trimming a variety of different cartridge types, the micrometer cut length control comes in very handy.</p>

<p><b>Power Trimming Technology Saves Time</b><br />
Trimming and chamfering brass are tasks hand-loaders grow to hate. Those chores are time-consuming and tiresome. Thankfully there are faster, better alternatives to manual trimming/chamfering. In this article, Forum member <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCianqsXOUlcWAnyTsQ4FlIw" target="_blank">Erik Cortina</a> shows how to use the Giraud tool which trims and chamfers in one operation. Erik has his own <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCianqsXOUlcWAnyTsQ4FlIw" target="_blank">YouTube Channel</a> dedicated to precision reloading and accurizing. Here we feature Erik&#8217;s video about the &#8220;mother of all brass trimmers&#8221;, the Giraud powered case trimmer. Erik says: &#8220;If you do volume reloading&#8230; this is the <i>only</i> trimmer to get. It not only trims to length but it also chamfers your case mouth inside and out.&#8221; In his video, Erik offers some very clever and useful tips that will help you get the most from your Giraud.</p>
<p><i>This is a manufacturer&#8217;s photo showing an older model.</i><br />
<img src="http://accurateshooter.net/Blog/giraud1500.jpg" alt="Erik Cortina Meplat Giraud Case Trimmer YouTube Video Lapua"></p>
<p>The Giraud trimmer is very precise. When set up correctly, it can trim brass with amazing consistency. In the video, Erik trims five pieces of brass in 15 seconds (6:32 mark). He then measures all five with precision calipers (7:00-8:08). All lengths are exact within .0005 (half a thousandth). Erik notes that the Giraud trimmer indexes off the case shoulder. As long as you have fire-formed brass with consistent base-to-shoulder dimensions, you should get very consistent trim lengths.</p>
<p>The secret to the system is a <strong>3-way cutting head</strong>. This cutter can be swapped in and out in a couple minutes with wrenches provided with the kit. Erik has three different heads; one each for 6.5mm, 7mm, and .30 caliber. The video shows how to adjust the cutting heads to match  caliber diameter (and to get the desired amount of inside/outside chamfer).</p>
<p>To trim and chamfer cases, you simply insert them nose-first into the cartridge-specific case-holder. Erik offers a smart tip &#8212; He uses a <strong>die locking ring</strong> to position the cartridge holder (3:15). This can be locked in place. Erik says die locking rings work much better than the hex-nuts provided by Giraud (with the hex-nut, one must re-set cut length each time you change case-holders.)</p>
<p><img src="http://accurateshooter.net/Blog/giraud1505.jpg" alt="Erik Cortina Meplat Giraud Case Trimmer YouTube Video Lapua"></p>
<p>The Giraud can be used in either horizontal or vertical modes. Erik prefers to have the trimmer aligned vertically, allowing him to push cases down on the trimmer head. But the trimming unit has twin sets of rubber feet, allowing horizontal or vertical orientation.</p>
<p><img src="http://accurateshooter.net/Blog/giraud1502.jpg" alt="Erik Cortina Meplat Giraud Case Trimmer YouTube Video Lapua"></p>
<p><b>Improved Case-Holder Made with Chamber Reamer:</b><br />
For his .284 Shehane, Erik had to create his own case-holder (Giraud does not make one for that wildcat cartridge). Erik used his chamber reamer. To his surprise, Erik found that the brass was easier to trim in the custom case holder (compared to the Giraud-made spring-loaded holders). With a perfect fit, trimming and case extraction went more smoothly and the process was easier on his hands. (See 9:00-10:00). Based on Erik&#8217;s experience, you may want to create your own custom case-holder.</p>
<p><b>Trim Bullet Meplats Also</b><br />
With a special bullet-holder fitting and meplat cutter head, the Giraud power trimmer can be used to trim bullet meplats. Trimming meplats can help make the Ballistic Coefficents of a batch of bullets more consistent. Uniforming meplats is also often done as a first step in the process of &#8220;tipping&#8221; bullets to improve BC. </p>
