No problem! The o-rings keep the case from turning in the trim die. The system worked great the first time I used it. The next time I removed the case lube after sizing, but before trimming and it caused the o-rings to migrate out of their grove and one was chopped in half by the case mouth. At that point you are sunk. The directions, which I skipped :P said to leave the case lube on the brass to help the o-rings, so I'm hoping this isn't something I'm going to need to replace often.
