Drill with highly custom holder, and WFT installed.


The DW100 has a belt clip that fits good and tight (gutentight; German for virgin).

Scap good process pics. How do you guys set the length to be cut off the brass? Do you use a back stop or what?

CB, thanks for the link. Now I'm sure I need that.

I can size approx 10/minute.
I'll see what my trim rate is a bit later.

It's a smooth process, so not sure I'd pay to have my own processed.

Buying premade would seem a better deal if I didn't have any 5.56 on hand.

I eyeball it, and cut just behind the shoulder. Haven't cut one too short yet.

Here's an example pic.

Rolling your own is a good way to go right now since like you said 5.56 is readily available. I think it's good to do, especially for the early on until more 300 BLK ammo & brass comes into circulation. That will bring prices down a little bit too.

Roger that!!
It's been flying off the shelf at freedom munitions, so it's definitely catching on.

I see, thanks.

On the WFT, is there a min/max rpm recommended? I'm just trying to figure out how I'd use it with one hand.

Only reason I have considered paying to get it processed was for the annealing process.

My drill has a deadman switch. Full speed is the best I've found. My battery drill wasn't fast enough and would grab and pull the cases.

I'm not convinced that annealing adds that much life to the brass.

I will defer since I am brand new at this. Guess I could save myself a lot of money and get started with my bandsaw. I've only got about 3k pieces to process lol.

Scap, I knew I had seen this. You could use this to hold your case while trimming it.
