Wilson case trimmer trouble

[joneb]

I wanted to check how concentric the bullets were to the case. I placed a .308 round in the shell holder of the L E Wilson trimmer and rotated it, the dial showed a .005 run out After checking more reloads and the some factory ammo I discovered that the hole in the shell holder was not centered in the body. This means that all my trimmed cases were not cut square my dial calipers confirmed this. I returned the shell holder, they had four more in stock, only one was centered.

Interesting ... would not have expected that from Wilson.

How do they shoot?

Petty good, I've been trying to reduce the some of variables for my .308 loads, with Nosler ballistic tip 150gr with 44.5gr of Varget,or47.5 of BL-c2 Fed 210, in fire formed neck sized brass I'll get 1/2"to 5/8" 3 shot groups at 100yrds, the COL is 2.85" which just fits the mag. The gun is a Howa 1500 with a standard barrel and a cheesy synthetic stock, after floating the barrel accuracy improved. It's a decent hunting rifle for the $
