What an ingenious design that saves time, energy, and actually improves the results over traditional sizing and trimming operations. Why did it take so long for someone to figure this out? Great job!!
What about the reamer head being bored down the center in the non cutting area then run a de capping rod down the center. Set in a way that after you insert the reamer it bottoms out on the primer and pushes up. Then after reaming and trimming the reamer bottoms out on the set collet taking pressure of the case mouth. That would allow you to then tap down a small flat disk with your palm or small rubber hammer. It would only need to rise out of the top of the reamer shaft ¹/8th" or so. Only issue I would see is smaller caliber casings with the OD dia. Of the reamer cutting serface and strength after adding a hole through it and with the limits of such, and the limits with the decaping rod OD. Although most the length would be supported by the shaft of the reamer. So in my quick brain plans im thinking you could probably be able to make a combo of such for down to 6.5 to 6mm ish. Also could work with replaceable/different sized cutting heads. Maybe you already thought of that. But nice work hope all is well and best of luck to you Sir.
Thank you for your comment. I did think of those ideas. I got the patent just the other day and I hope I can find somebody to manufacture the system. It has improved my shooting and made reloading much easier.
Sorry to keep posting and bugging you lol, I can see how this is the perfect solution, strange it hasn’t been done before. I do some machine work, (atlas lathe and Bridgeport) I cant see what the actual reamer inside the neck indexes off of? Does it just free float in the neck? I see it’s indicating perfect on your dials inside and out, but id think it would have to index on the outside of the neck die so the reamer would float exactly in the center of the die? Thanks man, this is a great idea and I’d love to buy a few different calibers if you ever get them made.
@@piutesteve I’ve got it now, thanks man. It looked like the brass was flush with the top of the die, I thought that was how you were getting your overall length perfect. If you ever get this made, please make a video showing where we can buy them. Thanks again.
Did you ever have to anneal that 80 pieces of brass to get 1,200 rounds through them? I love Norma but have never tried using them that many times, thanks.
I never did anneal any of them. I forgot about a 500 round box of Bergers I shot. So that makes 1700 bullets fired out of 80 cases and they are still going strong.

Oh Baby!!! Nice setup 🇺🇸👍
Every competition Shooter and hunter in the world will want one. Wish I had one before my next sniper match!!!!
I hope so

@@piutesteve love your work good luck and I hope I can get a few
@@neveraballfe8253 Thanks
Looks great, congrats!
Pretty slick!!! Patten that bad boy…!
I did. Just got the patent about a week ago.
Not sure if it would work but maybe lee make a quick trim? It is another step but it may suffice
The beauty of it is that you trim every time, So your never trimming much. But I have trimmed 45-90 down to 45-70 All the chips end up in the case.
Miss you cannon videos
Me too. After those guys blew themselves up in that tank. The cannon shoots have stopped. around here anyway

The top of the reamer has a bearing surface that is supported by a corresponding bearing in the upper part of the die.
The upper part of the reamer fits in a bearing surface in the top of the die.

@@piutesteve amazing.
300 blk out !
I hope I can find somebody to make these in all the calibers
