I am curious (among other issues) why the Dillon Trim Die must try to resize at all. You have to run it through at least a depriming step anyway. I've had a problem with the Die part of the unit and just sent this question to Dillon:
---------------------------------------------
I've been using the Dillon Trimmer in a single stage press for a while now. I resize/decap in a separate step and at another time relube and run the brass through the trimmer/trimmer die.
I've setup the resize/decap die (RCBS X-Die) in a progressive press along with the Dillon Trimmer in order to make the process more efficient. I've had two .223 cases stuck in the trimmer die now. I suppose lube has rubbed off the case before it went into the trimmer die? I don't know, but as you may guess, it is a pain to take apart the trimmer/die, use special tools to get the brass out, and then setup the trimmer/die and adjust to the correct trim length.
I would like to know if it is possible to order a .223 trim die where the area below the case shoulder is a few thousandths larger so the trim die will not resize at all? I just want the neck to square up and be trimmed.
---------------------------------------------
By my thinking the above should be a good solution. I would appreciate any ideas you may have about it.
Thanks,
Paul
