Got a new .223 from Santy Claus. Ruger Mini 14. I have been loading rifle and handgun ammo off and on for 40 years, but during one of the off periods, I gave a friend who had done a bunch of work for me most of my loading equipment, including my trimmer. I am currently using a Dillon 550, and don't have any sort of single stage press. This makes the use of one of the dies that you file off the end of the case impractical to use. I need to find a good, inexpensive way to trim brass. I've seen one that you use with a drill press, using the stop on the drill press to adjust length. I'm not sure my drill press is that accurate, though maybe it is. Any thoughts on some way to trim cases that costs less than $50 or so?
