Some shotshell tools I've been working with, all worth having.



Hull trimmers can solve the component stack issues, but the press you are using to deliver a folded crimp must accommodate variations in hull length. In the past, I have used card wads to stop the Load-All II where I need it to, and I'm working a height adjustment for the press via the square tube.

The BPI Spin-N-Trim did a great job. Hull need to be deprimed before trimming. The Reloading Solutions Handy Trimmer trims with the spent primer in the hull. I think this was done to avoid decapping by hand. In other words, you can trim and move the hull directly to your press for the various stages.



Had I bought the Spin-N-Trim first, it would have fit my needs, but the $18 premium for the CRS Handy Trimmer is worth every penny.

Oh man! I ain't reloaded any yet on my brand new Load All, and I'm seeing more tools I need...

Truer words were never spoken

Hahh... just like metallic (I think it tougher), you need stuff beyond the press.

Larry... where's daboone?

Absolutely, positively, 100%, For sure, more stuff is needed
First lesson for you new handloaders.
It's always, ALWAYS, needed! Never "Wanted"!!
This rule served me very well for many years. At least until
my wife figured out I was full of it.. YMMV

Michael, that old cuss is back at his place on the bay in Hawaii.
I think he said until August? Thanks for reminding me, I need to
rattle his chain. Can let him go too long without some aggravation.
I hope he's recharging well, he sure deserves it.

From watching the weather, it looks like it is raining hogs and dogs.
