I recently ordered the 5 in 1 trimmer from Little Crow Gunworks. Mine is actually modified for the 6mm neck of my 6x45s.
First impression, these things are solid chunks of machinery. They are very well finished, no tool marks, etc. also, the cutters are SHARP! They shave off small filings instead of the kind of chunky stuff you get from other cutters.
The mouth is cut perfectly square. There is no need for deburing. They are clean cut. And I will need very minimal chamfering.
The thing that really sold me is how fast you can go through a pile of brass. I did 300 pcs in about 30-40 minutes. That's awesome, IMO. Great time saver.
Here below I have a demo of the speed. I had some stray 222 rem brass in the box. It was long, at 1.70". But the shoulder was where it should be. Since this indexes off the shoulders, I decided to sacrifice the brass in the name of demonstration.
They started at 1.70". Finished at 1.585". Check out the video to see how quickly it works. And it cuts very clean, as stated above.
They sat a bit off camber due to the grain in my wooden bench.
When you hear the difference in the drill, that's how you know it's done cutting. Plus, you can feel it when it starts to free-spool.
Well worth the investment. There are a few different combo cutters. Basically, if they're in the same 'family' then one cutter can be used for all. (243, 308, 260...or 222,223,221fb,17rem...)
