I know Fotis has one but looking for people that have used the Franklin case prep. I am really bad about trimming brass and need a quick simple solution.

Thanks
 
ABSOLUTELY and I am not the only one. Read the reviews on midway usa
 
I am hoping that my kids have taken the hint on a great 60th birthday present :mrgreen:. As usual I don't need one but that has never stopped me before :lol:

Blessings,
Dan

Ah, spoken like a true gun crank. :grin:
 
It is on my list for the next piece of kit for my reloading bench. I hate trimming brass. I still have the older RCBS trimmer that works fine, but the Frankford Arsenal seems like a better mousetrap.

Pre64Hornet has one as well and seems to really like it. Says it is very well made so it should go the distance as well.
 
I sense one in my future. I dropped all kinds of hints for Father's Day. Didn't work. Guess I'll have to be more direct--you know, buy it and claim that it was a belated Father's Day gift when my wife asks about it appearing in the man cave. :grin:

Yep got one. Love it. Works as advertised. Trims with ease. Built with aluminum and steel. Heavy. Not too loud.

Get one.
 
Thanks everyone. Will wait for a Midway coupon then get one coming

Cheers

I have a question for you fellas that have one, have any of you measured the COAL across a half dozen to a dozen or so cases after trimming and found any variences in the COAL ?
I'm also curious if the bushing will slip completely down the neck to the shoulder junction on PFLR cases?
Thanks
 
Been a couple months since I asked.

Those having one of these, you still happy?
 
Love it. I have trimmed .270, .243, and 223 rem with it so far and after you set it up two or three times it is slicker than dogs snot.

And yes to those who asked, I measure every other one and they are all dead nuts on.

One thing you have to get used to is the left hand threads. It takes a little to get used to.
