Trimming larger than 45 caliber rounds

[ireload2]

Forster makes trimmer that requires a set of collets spefifically for the larger rounds but that is not what this post is about.
Some rounds will not even fit the Forster trimmer for one reason or another.
The Forster also does not fit some pocket books.
I have a number of the standard Wilson case trimmers that use a tapered chamber type shell holder to hold the cases for trimming.
I found a pair of the .50 cal cutter bearings on clearance at Midway for $7.50.
The carbide .612 diameter carbide cutter is about $24 at PTG.
Now all I have to do is get a custom case holder made for my 50-70 GOVT cases and I will be ready to buzz them off. In this case (terrible pun intended) I am going to shorten 50-90 Starline to exactly fit the chamber lenght.

So I will drop the hint. The cutter for this tool will actually trim a .577 Snider if you get a case holder made for the big fat round.
