Sizing new Starline brass

[justonemorear]

I always trim Virgin Brass after sizing it. I treated the 450 as I did when I first played w/ the 50Beo over 10trs ago. Then as in now I only use the Lee hand trim setup w/ a cordless screwdriver, I can do it on the patio, porch or take it w/ me fishing.

That doesn't speak well of where you go fishing.

Hoot

LOL. I was thinking that very same thing.

I never said I was a serious fisher, I'm a laid back one. Wait for the bobber to stay under kind. Hell we are not talking about hunting

Not familiar with the Lee, I trim on my Forester trimmer and have been using Hornady brass exclusively w/o any issues. I did find that my Forester .45 pilot won't enter a sized case so I improvised and use my 44 pilot. Seems to work well and the case mouths are nice and square.

Forster has a couple different sizes of 45cal pilots, one fits a .458 and the other fits .451-.452ish.

you can spin them up in a drill and hold a piece of emery cloth on them to size them down a little.

. I'll have to give that a try, thanks. Mine is just marked "45".
