Yes it was expensive but I had faith it was as amazing as I had heard so I bought one. Having used it for a while now, there aren't too many tools I have for reloading that I wouldn't be willing to give up or replace but this is one of them. This is the ultimate in case trimming, chamfering and deburring and I can almost guarantee you'll never go back once you try it.

Just picked mine up from Doug yesterday morning , super nice guy .The machine and heads are great quality material . Very pleased with its build and performance ...
Worth every penny.
I couldn’t agree more...
Hey John, first, thanks for all your videos. They’re incredibly helpful. You had mentioned that you bought a tool box, so you can keep your trimmer protected from dust, etc. What toolbox did you settle on and are you happy with it? Thanks!
How do you clean your brass
the best
just got my trimmer today in 6.5 creed for now but will be getting 223,308 and 338 conversion also a 6xc or what ever caliber I feel like playing with next..
wooohooo!!! You're gonna love it.
When will you open your Master reloader shop with all the goodies you promote?
John,
Would you give a little more detail on the custom collet that your gunsmith made for you please.
I have him use an old barrel and he basically reams it and threads it just like a die. Polish it out with some steel wool on a bronze brush chucked up in a drill. I swear by them now and won't touch the factory collets anymore.
John, thanks for your insights... what case length do you set your 308 cases at?
I’m sorry but I don’t shoot .308. Those are .284
John with the speed of the blade cutting the brass for chamfering and deburing is there any chattering on the brass?
As long as you have it set correctly there’s zero chattering. But you have to make sure the mouths are round. If you have one out of round you’ll feel it real quick.
I can not get consistent COAL lengths with this trimmer. I assume the length from the shoulder to the case mouth is consistent, so I assume the length from the base to the shoulder datum is different for each case even though it is going thru the same full length resized die. Any help would be appreciated
Yes if set up correctly and using the right insert it will trim consistency from shoulder to case mouth. Base to shoulder can vary depending on your process, dies and press.
Hey John --- Did you consider the Henderson Gen 2 case trimmer? I'm down to purchasing either it or the Giraud. I'm leaning toward the Giruad since it references off the shoulder vs the base, however, I would bet the Henderson is a lot less fatiguing on the hand. Your thoughts?
Sorry but I don’t have any experience with the Henderson. As for the Giraud, check out my other videos showing how I’ve automated it.
@@FClassJohn Just watched your AMP Mate video, that is awesome. Your costing me $$$$ by the second!!!! Thanks for the videos, great stuff.
Thank you. Glad you like them.
Nice little demo, been wanting to get this for a while as I have a RCBS 3 way case trimmer atm and it doesn't do a good job at trimming cases at all. The mouth of the case is all wobbly and not flat and precise. The portion of the video where you talk about some guy taking out the play in the fitting is this something you could do for me as well if I bought it? I wouldn't even know how to describe what to do if I brought it somewhere..Thanks,chris
Thank you. It’s definitely worth the money of trimming is important to you. As far as the piece I had made I can’t make them. I just asked my gunsmith to use my chamber reamer to make a 7/8-14 die basically. If you end up getting one I can help you better explain what you need but it’s actually really simple for any qualified gunsmith to make.
F-Class John Hello John! I have a 338 lapua and I’m definitely considering buying this. I would like to do what you did, will I have to get a barrel and reamer? And cut the barrel? My gun is a Christensen arms. Trying to figure how to go about this because I don’t like the play it has with the spring system. Thank You!
Or buy just a piece of quality steel tube and reamer, and my gunsmith can ream it to make a die?
Just ask your gunsmith if he has any section barrel and just have him use your same reamer to make it. It’s not that hard and any decent gunsmith should have scrap barrel around.
And it’s just a standard die thread for him to cut on the outside.
Can you use the same cutting head without changing position for a 6.5 cm and 6.5 prc ?
As long as your neck diameter is the same between the two, then yes. You'll need a different insert for the actual brass but the cutter itself should be good.
@@FClassJohn that's what I thought, thank you !
John, I just discovered you and your videos are fantastic. I'm not far from you, would you mind sharing the name of the gunsmith you used to create the new modified collet assy for the Giraud? Nobody I've contacted in the Seattle area was interested in doing something similar but this wobbly collet is driving me crazy.
Disregard John, I found someone. For anyone else's benefit looking for a gunsmith in the PNW area who is familiar with this issue, reach out to Jay from JRC Precision in Woodinville, WA. He knew exactly what I was referring to and says he has done this same thing for his own trimmer.
@@chrisjohnson8938 Yep he's one of my recommended gunsmiths on my website www.fclassjohn.com
Hello john would your gunsmith make me a die rimmer for my giruad trimmer this way I dont have that wobble like yours it's for a 300 prc and a 6.5 creedmoor please let me know thank you
Rotties4life Roco Make that x2
@@danielrosagrata Thanks for sharing. So Roco makes the shell holder like John uses? If so do you have contact info for Roco?
Thanks
I want to give that scrap barrel trick a go. The spring loaded collet is something I do not like about this. So, I would just have a gunsmith ream it like he was cutting the chamber on a complete barrel? Also, would you just cut the scrap barrel to the same length as the Giraud collet?
Exactly and just thread it 7/8-14 like a die.
@@FClassJohn Any chance your gunsmith would be willing to do any more of these? I am a couple and a half hours away from a gunsmith and am going to have to do this through email and phone. I'd just as soon have someone do it that has already done it before. If not, no problem.
I can ask him but I probably won’t see him for a little while and he’s a couple hours away from me. What I can recommend in the meantime is you can actually pop out the retainer ring at the top of your collet and then pull out the insert and remove the spring that’s in there. This will almost do the same thing and will at least let you try it to see if you like it.
@@FClassJohn Cool!!!! I'll give that a try!!
I did forget to mention that you need to put the insert back in but I’m sure you would’ve figured that out. 🤪
6:30 - aren't you going to still want to do something with those shavings hanging around on the mouth? Will you tumble again? Or do a light chamfer? Or just leave them there?
Hi John can you please tell me all send me a link where to buy one
www.giraudtool.com/giraud-power-trimmer.html
I would trade my mother for a lot less...
Hi John the email on the giraud sit not working do you know if there are still trading all do you have a number for the and there location thx
I'm not sure about the email but a buddy of mine got his delivered last month so I know they're still in business.
@@FClassJohn thx John just wanting to get one asap
I am wondering what the dimensions of the trimmer are.. I can not seem to find it anywhere.
Roughly 13”w 6.5”h 6”d
@@FClassJohn I hear with my ear that you may be local to my area of PDX???
@@mikeq7096 yep that’s correct.
@@FClassJohn nice, I am in milwaukie
I suspect we may have crossed paths at TCGC
A friend of mine said he pulled targets for you at the 600
is how it came up
@@mikeq7096 It's very likely. I run the 600yd program out there.
I know that this is a silly question, but how does trimming your breasts affect accuracy? Thank you. I am a new reloader.
So sorry for the typo. Trimming brass
You have to trim because the brass is stretched & grows in length when you re-size.
If you check out specs for a particular caliber, you'll find "case-length", i.e., .308 is 2.015 in.
And so "trim-to length" is often down to ~ 2.0050. Typically is ~ .0010" under max case length.
When you re-size it, if it then measures 2.1175, then you have to trim it to be able to chamber & cycle the round
Sounds pretty loud to me.
