Lee Length Gauge/ Shellholder

They are a simple, but accurate trimmer that works. Plus they are affordable.

Easy Way to Trim Cases

I have three more of these Length Gauges for trimming cases that have gotten to long. I find these make easy work of trimming cases I use the Manual Zip Trim power source to do it and it works wonderful without spending a lot of money to do it. They are always trimmed perfectly as the Arbor only lets the cutter go to trim to length. I have the Universal 3 jaw chuck on mine so I do not have to change the chuck every time I trim a different caliber case. Are there better case trimmers out there ?, probably, but for the money and simplicity I don't think so.

Way Easier and Time Tested

Lee's advantage. As you need one specific gauge and shell holder per type case you never have to adjust diddly. I've shot the same cases dozens of times and have never resized most! Clean, inspect/measure, trim(if needed,)de-burr/chamfer, size n' prime, reload, One last thing about LEE? Your not spending $70 a pop on a case trimmer that you use once a year. Sure you have a trimmer to get all squishy about and use for just the one .308, I have an RCBS Case Trimmer 2 from back in the day. Do you want to load ammo or do a study on Statistical Dimensioning? Lee does everything simpler.
