Case Trimming (Lee Deluxe Power Quick Trim)

[frgood]

I just purchased the Lee Power Quick Trim and the 30-30 QT Die.

Is this how the case should look? It seems rather excessive to me.

No, that doesn't look right.

Agree. In the photo, it looks backwards like it trimmed from the outside up and toward the inside to a point.

Any case trimming I've done (never needed to do very much) had a very even, level edge at the case mouth, with pretty much no internal chamfer required to be suitable for use, which was done as a separate step, if necessary.

I can't even get my head around the purpose of what's shown in Fred's pic.

My Lee power trim leaves a flat edge. Call Lee and ask, they're great for customer service.

Outside should have a slight bevel, that looks way to much. Was the case spinning in the die? Is the trim length right? I would look at resetting up the die first to make sure it is trimming properly, almost looks like instead of trimming properly it beveled more then it should have.

I have the same Lee Case Trimmer and use it for my 7.62x54r, 7.65x53, and 7.92x57. None of my cases come out looking like yours. Call Lee!

I think I will. I'm just using the hand trimmer tools now with great success.

I have a friend looking for the black interior trim piece for the post. It has 2 screws - one at the top and bottom.Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'll look around. Unfortunately, it will take some time as I've just moved into a new house and unpacking all my reloading ggear is a it down on the list.
