I'm finally back to reloading and started to process brass this past weekend (decapping and tumbling).

I now need a good case trimmer that I can hook up to a drill, being able to take the crimp out of the military brass would be a plus too.

Load wise
SMK .77 HPBT I order.

Now I just need some powder to try, reloader15 seems pretty standard but a lot of guys like 8208 XBR.

Primers would I use standard small rifle or use Magnum or military primer(CCI #41 primers)?

Standard CCI small rifle or BR-4s will be fine.

Reloder 15, IMR 4064, CFE 223, Benchmark....long list of solid powders. It's really a matter of what you can find.

I did the same things you want to do Dustin and after screwing around for 6 months decided it was better to buy the correct tools. Pocket trimmer/reamer, Lee trimmers with a zip trim. None of it was convenient and after a couple of months, didn't work all that well. I ended up buying the Dillon trimmer and a Dillon Super Swage 600. I wish I had done it much earlier.

Buy once, cry once.

Thanks guys. I've been looking at the Lyman case trimmer and the case prep area ( with the 5 stations). I'm on a single stage and slowly trying to get more in to it. I'll be getting Dillion 650 in a few months I loved that press and stupidly sold it

Dillon 600 to swage ... Giraud to trim.

I'm on a budget at the moment. Just loading up low count precision loads. But the Giraud trimmer I do want.
