Giraud case trimmer

[enfield303t]

Tired of trimming hundreds of .556/.223 cases I decided to bite the bullet and purchase a Giraud case trimmer.

It arrived a couple of days ago and I put it to use last night. Will have to count how many I did trim but it sure was fast and didn't take much effort at all.

The trimmer itself is a work of genius, extremely well made and is preset to trim to the exact length which is adjustable should a person want a shorter length. I also purchased a cutter for .308 and even though I don't think I will use it much wanted it as well.

We have thousands of empty .556/.223 cases and after using a hand trimmer on about 500 over a couple of days decided my sanity was worth the money to buy a powered trimmer.

When I called to order the trimmer I talked to Mrs. Giraud and must say one of the most pleasant experiences I have had. She told me it would be about a month before it would be shipped and that was fine with me. The trimmer was shipped 4 days earlier than expected, came in a custom fitted box so arrived in perfect condition. Top notch to deal with and would buy from them again in a heart beat.

I researched many cutters on the internet and this one is not cheap however if you want to do volume it is the way to go. I am a firm believer when it comes to mechanical devices you do get what you pay for and this item is a perfect example.

They also make a case annealer which I tried to purchase only to find out it is under the UN treaty so not exportable without the paperwork required and for a single item not feasible. What a shame as after watching videos on how it works, like the trimmer it is genius and again well worth the investment. For you US citizens this is a item worth considering if you are a volume shooter.
