Dillon told me the 7.62x39 trimmer was could only be used for that one. I'ld contact Dillon and make sure that hasn't changed though.

I ended up buying an extended Redding shellholder and using my Rockchucker for making my Fireball brass. Sucks, but at least I can do it.

I need to run it in a Dillon 650 but dont want a trimmer only for Whisper cases.

Am i right in thinking that modding a tool head and using a CH4D die will allow a std trimmer to be used??

You do need to mod the toolhead.

I hated chopping on a 1050 toolhead, but it was for the greater good.

For use with a std trimmer and CH die or a x39 trimmer setup?

Can anyone verify if the CH die with a standard trimmer works in a Hornady LNL AP or will i need an extended shell holder and my single stage?

The CH4D die will not work with the standard trimmer and Hornady LNL. This is the EXACT setup I have, and had to go with the Redding extended shellholder and my RCBS Rockchucker press for my brass forming operation.

That's a bummer. I had these grand dreams of progressive case forming with lube dies and all kinds of wonderment.:mad:

I've got a 1050 and the ch4d trim die, but I'm not sure how much to machine off the top of the tool head.

Do I need to take .350" off the entire top or just enough for clearance for the plastic vacuum attachment around one of the stations?

Also... does that .350" account for leaving threads exposed on the die for the knurled lock nut to engage?

pictures of yalls set up would be nice...:o
