That's a great innovation. I trim but find it a faff knowing I can do my cases and bullets with one machine makes it very appealing. Being in England makes it a bit more challenging and costly to acquire though.
I'm glad you like it ... this is beyond my skill set thou... that is to say I don't shoot so well that this would make any improvement on my paper punches
Great video... why would you not trim them all to the same size? I don't shoot F class but would like to some day. Just trying to learn all I can. Thanks for the videos
Cool beans. I already use that trimmer to trim my brass, so yeah... I'd like to add the bullet trimmer option. ( I don't do that yet or really 'need' to but some of those tips are horrendous under a magnifying glass and there is no way to measure accurate oal with them. And it just bothers me. ha ha) Thanks John and Happy New Year! And PS: zoom out a bit or bring things in to the frame! ;)
Awesome bit of gear hopefully can get them in the near future over here in Australia could use one to trim a heap up that’s for sure, happy new year John keep the awesome videos flowing mate 👍🏻🎉
@@FClassJohn yeah it isn’t the easiest but some are able to produce their own little trinkets to improve things if I had access to a lathe and milling machine I’d definitely be inventing little bits but these seriously look the goods 👌🏻
Two part question. After you sort, trim and point, what order do you fire them in (shortest to longest or longest to shortest)? Do you see any difference in vertical dispersion from the shortest to the longest? P.S. - I have the Accuracy One bullet OAL comparator, Accuracy One motorized meplat trimmer for the Lyman and the Hoover pointing die. Thanks for all the great information you share and the work you put into producing your videos.
Thank you for the kinds words. As for sorting and shooting, I don't really care what order because I'm only concerned that 25 of them are the same for each string I shoot. Any minor dispersions will be adjusted out on the next string withs sighters.
@@FClassJohn Thanks! Please stop showing cool stuff in your videos. I would like to retire one day but I won't be able to if I keep buying them all. Lol! Seriously though, I live in the middle of nowhere and do not have access to anyone in my area with your kind of knowledge and experience. Your videos help people like myself improve their reloading and shooting skills. Again, thank you for the help.
@@jimhary9717 Glad I can help. Don't feel pressured to buy everything just because it's cool though. Just find the tools that make the processes that are important to you easier.
I am wondering if I can use this to trim 147gr .308 noses so they would fit in to 300 HAM'R, I am talking about trimming like 0.100" off. Would it handle it?
It’s possible although it may take a little bit of time. I know there are different degrees of end mill cutters and I don’t think this one is super aggressive. I would give them a call and ask.
I know people who like the Giraud version and if you own one already it probably make sense to use if nothing else for the cost savings. The big advantage of this is the ability to easily adjust .001" at a time but technically you could achieve this with the Giraud by adding a Whidden click micrometer die.
I found with the Giraud that no matter how much fiddling one does with the adjustment, the cutter leaves a tiny nub on the edge of the meplat. I changed to the Hoover system, and that problem was eliminated. The Giraud is designed to trim brass...; don't try and make it do things it wasn't designed to do. I think Giraud could use a different cutter, which should also eliminate the problem, but the cutter Giraud supplies for meplat trimming does not do the trick.
I'd suggest you to change the terminology from "trim" to "pointing"? I think? Is that not what your doing? Trimming I think should be relegated to trimming brass? My 2C's worth.
I get what you're saying in so much as the trimming and pointing are not usually mutually exclusive but it truly is trimming the bullet. This is actually 'trimming' the end of the bullet off and the 'pointing' is done with a completely different process with a die.There are people out there who only trim the meplat and don't bother pointing.
Simple solution to a time consuming task. Great idea. Happy New Year John!!!
We appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience.
I have the same thoughts about the bullet trimming. Glad you had one made.
Happy new year. 🎉
Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪 🍀
All the best in the New Year. We look forward to more great content in 2023 😀.
Happy New Year John. Keep 'em centered in 2023..😁
Thank you for schooling a noob like me, keep up the good content

Cool .I don't have to trim my Cutting Edge Solid Copper Bullets or my Flatliner.
But it's a cool trim m er if I decide to shoot plane bullets
Thanks for the video , i just bought it and the bullet trimmer

Cool, thanks for sharing. Happy New Year.
Pretty cool man and great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
You get that noise ring tool from David tubb?
Awesome bit of gear hopefully can get them in the near future over here in Australia could use one to trim a heap up that’s for sure, happy new year John keep the awesome videos flowing mate 👍🏻🎉
Thank you. It's a real bummer that it's so hard for you all over there to get some products. Hope that improves over time.

Happy New year🎉🎉🎉
You too!!!
Let talk about precision routing for that T-Track. I can’t stop looking at the gap between the wood and the T-Track to the right of the trimmer. 😂
Yeah I really yipped it there. It bugs the crap out of me too. 🤣

@@FClassJohn After you sort them by overall length, how much do you trim off?
@@jimhary9717 The bare minimum that uniforms them. It's not much.

How does it compare to the Giraud meplat trimmer accessory?

@@renetatro547 yeah I actually found the same thing when I had mine.
John, could you turn on the subtitles please?
I do have them turned on. Not sure why you're not seeing them.
@@FClassJohn because they appear deactivated
@@fco.javierlesende4260 OK I’ll look into it some more but everything on man made it look like they were working.
@@FClassJohn
Thanks John, but it doesn't work, at least in Spain
Great Video
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi, can you tell me where I can get one of those thank you
All of the information to order is in the description.
Hello. You trim bullets, but you don't show before/after trimming..... Happy new year!
Yeah I'll do that in a another video.
I'd suggest you to change the terminology from "trim" to "pointing"? I think? Is that not what your doing? Trimming I think should be relegated to trimming brass? My 2C's worth.
Nope. Trimming bullets and pointing bullets are 2 different things. He is trimming them.
I get what you're saying in so much as the trimming and pointing are not usually mutually exclusive but it truly is trimming the bullet. This is actually 'trimming' the end of the bullet off and the 'pointing' is done with a completely different process with a die.There are people out there who only trim the meplat and don't bother pointing.
Are we going to ignore the nose ring 🤷🏼♂️
Shhhhhh 🤫
