I use the chop saw from Harbor Freight. Works great. Then it is size and trim like normal.

Yep. We both have the same one. Mine is heavily modified.

It was not me - Bill Alexander - who got steel cased 6.5 made, posted online that Wolf was importing 300 BLK. I reposted what he said, but I don't have any first hand knowledge of it.

I made all of mine except for the 200 rounds of factory ammo. The chop saw is real fast once you make a jig. You need a 3 way power trimmer. Ask Tender Knuckles (Caster) about that :). I have an RCBS power trimmer with a 3 way head. Caster is using one that fits on a drill. I'm going to modify my chop saw jig so it cuts closer to the final trim length.

 

well I just bought a case cut off jig from vz58 on 300 BLKtalk, so I guess you'll be calling me "tender knuckles jr" as I will be using a drill chuck for power trim.  But I will take your advice and pick up a 3 way cutting head.

Do you have a link to the jig? Nothing wrong with a drill. I bought the RCBS because it's self contained, and turns pretty slow. Caster's trimmer is pretty cool too. He just did a bunch of cases before he sprung for it. That's how he got tender knuckles :)

I bought the last one until after the Holidays, but he will have more.  there is a video a few posts down.  I will eventually buy a power case trimmer but it will just have to wait a little while

 

 

I misquoted who the seller was above its VZ58, he's a senior member of there though.

I was up at harbor freight at the end of last week and got one of the 2" cut off saws. They had 3 more still there, came out to be like $38 with tax.

Thanks for the heads up.

Nysos and I have about 840 rounds of LC 5.56 to convert, should be a fun time had by all.

While I like the 300, I still really want a 458 Socom.

Yes.

Same here.  I just bought another lower for a 458 build.

The round speaks for itself.

Can't argue with that :up:

If you're going to do one, you need to collect them all. Don't forget the 338 Spectre.
