Case trimming can be a real chore.
I got a chance to test out the RCBS Trim Pro-2 Case Trimmer Kit and here is how it changes the way you trim cartridge cases forever.
Case trimming is very important for safety and proper functioning especially with rifle cartridges. It is true brass cases “grow” in length with each firing and must be set back to the proper dimensions. Manually trimming each cartridge case is time consuming. Why not speed up the process? The RCBS Trim Pro-2 Case Trimmer Kit is ready to make that chore a simple and enjoyable one. Let’s see what RCBS says about this high quality precision tool:
The RCBS Trim Pro-2 Power Case Trimmer kit has the same improved spring-loaded universal shell holder as the manual trimmer, but with a high-torque, low-RPM motor.
The self-feeding spring-fed cutter makes case trimming easy and accurate. No pushing or feeding pressure is required, leaving hands free to do other case preparation tasks such as chamfering, deburring or primer pocket cleaning. The positive locking handle and integral power switch makes operation simple and safe. Note: Cases with rim diameters larger than .625-inch must be trimmed on the 90352 High Capacity Trimmer.
- Manual on/off switch aids in setting case trim length
- Kit includes pilots: .22, .24, .25, .27, .28, .30, .35, .44 and .45
The RCBS Trim Pro-2 Case Trimmer Kit is the quick and precise mechanical way to get the job done.
The universal case holder is an incredible design that allows many different caliber head sizes to be used with ease. There is no need to change out anything but just the caliber specific pilot before use.
The RCBS Trim Pro-2 Case Trimmer Kit gets tested while trimming .308 caliber rifle cartridges back to the proper length.
Let’s take a look at the all important caliber specific pilots. They align the face of the cartridge to allow precise level trimming. The base of the RCBS Trim Pro-2 Case Trimmer Kit itself serves as a holder for the pilots.
Rough adjustment is achieved by the thumb screws that allow the right hand side of the RCBS Trim Pro-2 Case Trimmer Kit to slide for correct alignment.
For more precise adjustment, the adjustment bushing on the near the cutter guide is utilized.
I chose to mount the RCBS Trim Pro-2 Case Trimmer Kit on a heavy homemade wooden stand that was repurposed from another project. This way I can move the RCBS Trim Pro-2 Case Trimmer Kit around on the bench where I need it, and out of the way when I am working on other reloading procedures.
The whole RCBS Trim Pro-2 Case Trimmer Kit set up is built for precision, speed and ease of operation. The Mrs. 3D printed the “Director of Ballistic Recycling” to adorn my reloading bench. It certainly fits the spirit of what reloading at home is all about and just wouldn’t be right without RCBS green on it!
The RCBS Trim Pro-2 Case Trimmer Kit is a great product that will certainly pay for itself quickly in drama free usage for years to come. Give your arm a rest and step up to the repeated precision of the RCBS Trim Pro-2 Case Trimmer Kit.
