Gary, your link is only the pilot, you won't be able to use it without the main tool part that also does the outside chamfer etc. and holds the pilot. that tool is more $ like 45$ it looks like, but possibly comes with a select pilot?
Precisely what I am wondering. I figured that this would be a close to perfect Thread group to ask, since so many responders have, and apparently like, the Lyman product.... maybe you just got a lemon
Looking at the pictures on Amazon as well as RCBS website I'm convinced you're correct.The link in post #18 comes up for me as the pilot.
But whatever, the whole cutter is needed.
If it cost $15 it is the pilot
If it is $45 or so it is the whole thing.
I've got all three items coming from Amazon. The trimmer itself, the . 30 pilot, and the three way cutter.
Thanks for helping. I do plan to get the lyman unit for cleaning and evening primer pockets though.
Welp, wrong again. Isn't the first time & won't be the last.... I figured that this would be a close to perfect Thread group to ask, since so many responders have, and apparently like, the Lyman product. ...
The 30 Cal pilot came in today's mail. It's the pilot alright, but it also chamfers the inside of the case. Tomorrow the 3 way cutter arrives. But the trimmer itself is sched for Tuesday.
Yep, that's the one. Same price on Amazon but with Prime shipping. I'm about an hour East of Midway so when I order from them I drive out and pick it up. I take the dogs along as they love to ride.
I'll probably still buy a powered center because I can still use it for cleaning primer pockets and unifying primer pockets.
I thank you all for you insights and advice.
