I'm finally jumping on the 300 Blackout band wagon. I started trimming .223 cases with a pipe cutter. I got through 20 cases and decided that I need a better way to do this.
I took a 2x4 and drilled five holes in the end with a 3/8 forstner bit. drilled slow till I found the depth that I wanted with the first hole, then I marked the bit and drilled the rest. They are not exact, but close enough.
I then chopped the 2x4 off a little longer than the cases sit. I drilled through the back and inserted some nails for use as ejector.
Clamp the block to my miter saw and attached an abrasive cut off blade.
Insert cases, chop, lightly tap the back of the nails with remaining 2x4 to eject, remove, repeat.
Faster and easier on the finger.
