Lee rocks, actually. I don't have any of their presses but I use their dies and trimming tools a lot. And their Autodisk powder measure is great for loading tons of pistol or .556 rounds. I have a Redding turret press for working up loads, and a Hornady progressive press, but I still use Lee tools all the time.
I bought one of these. They are nice to have, and I will probably use it when I buy a cut off saw. But my Frankfort Arsenal universal trimmer does the same thing, except I don't have to buy an extra tool. But all in all, it is a neat tool.
@@eddieb9110 I can trim down the 6.5 cases to the appropriate length for my dies. After resizing I can push a different collet on and trim for actual case length.
@@eddieb9110 Yeah it does. I think it does a better job than using the jigs. You only need a drill and the universal trimmer and you are good. You trim the 6.5 brass down, then resize them in your 8.6 dies, and then you can do your final trim after you change the shoulder collet.
Find a small sheet metal screw - push down the red safety button and in the space screw in the sheet metal screw wich will hold down the safety release. Worked for me!
I got a squirrel daddy version for 300bo and had good luck. I’d get an extra harbor freight chopsaw blade if you plan on doing over 1k cases. Mine dulled around 1300 rounds
Thanks for the heads up on the jig. Might buy them both as well.... I'll double check my 300blk adapter for my chop saw against the other one and see how they look. Wonder if anyone else is making chop saw jigs ?

Right on
How does the Frankford Arsenal universal trimmer work with 8.6 blk?

@@c_s_8411 would it work for cases that were not trimmed before the sizing die?

ok good idea, i was just gonna snap it off, haha. your idea is more reasonable.
Looking forward to the order of operations trim cut video. That’s something I never really thought about
so far its easier to chop first then resize. not sure what that does for neck tension or over all accuracy/velocity if it even effects?
