Best Way To Make .300 Whisper Brass From .223 Hands Down!!!

[jonblack]

I have a Dillon XL650. I plan to buy a Dillon RT-1200. Will using the "CH4D Dillon Trim Die for .300 Whisper" still allow the use of the vacuum attachment?

Thank you

To use the Dillon trimmer with the C-H trim die will require that you machine the toolhead for that one station to half its original thickness. Otherwise the trimmer can't be adjusted down enough to trim the 223 case down to 1.355.
You can also use the Dillon trimmer on a single stage press but you have to use the C-H shell holder extender. That's how a I have mine setup and it works fine.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the information and assistance. I have a casefeeder for my XL650 so I would really like to use it for some volume work. I am guessing I need to machine the top of the Dillon toolhead to allow the RL-1200 and C-H trim to die extend lower to the shell plate. Is that correct?

If so, do I need to machine the entire tool head or just "relieve" an area large enough to allow the RL-1200 and vacuum port to clear?

I will have to look at the tool head and see if it would just be easier to make a special one from aluminum just for this task.

Thanks again for any assistance you can provide.
