Santa came thru

I just knew He would.
The RCBS Trim Mate was the last present I opened.
Kinda new what it was since it was the main thing I asked for.
Ran 50 rds. 223 thru it and it seems to work great.
Deburs, cleans primer pocket, reforms primer pocket, cleans flashhole and also brushs neck.
Seems really simple to operate and does a great job.
Just wondering and others with the same machine have any input as to their technique and results.
I am thrilled with it.

Got this as a Christmas gift myslef this year. I could not be more satisfied. Should help speed up production dont you think.

I have had one for about 18 months and I love it also. The trim mate is a time saver. I have mine set up and I here is the process I use:

1. Clean Primer pocket
2. Brush inside of case mouth
3. De-burr inside
4. de-burr outside

I wish it was a little less loud so I could listen to the radio when I use it but other than that it is great. I also have the Loadmaster 1500 and it is the Bomb! Maybe next Christmas...............Santa is a great guy

......as posted below in the thread titled, "Get anything reloading related".

What did you get that was reloading related for CHRISTmas?
I got a Cabela's XT-1500 digital reload scale. I have spent some time calibrating and checking known weights and also checking in relation to my balance beam scale. This rascal is right on!!!
I think I'm going to like it!!
