Trimming the Cartridge base

[survivalshop]

  I have LE Wilson Case Trimmer & I was looking at it last night & the way this Trimmer is set up its possible to trim the Base also .I have had some bases with some test loads ( a little High ) that would get scuffing fromExtraction or the Ejector mark , some times these are hard to get into the Shell Holder & a light filing of the base was in order to get the scuff out for the Shell Holder to accept the case . So I checked out doing a light trim on the base , just to see if it could remove the scuff & looks like it would work . 

     Not many Trimmers work like the LE Wilson , so many will not be able to do this , but for me I can't wait to try it on a Case Base , I really don't get many , because I am about done with testing for the 308 & the fact most of the older brass I was using for testing has ben cycled out with new once fired . I remember the Remington Brass was the worse , but printed my best groups , go figure .

This is the set up I have in the normal orientation , with the Gray lever being swung over top of the Case Holder to wedge it in place , so it wont spin or move .

 This is with the case & Holder backwards

 This is a very light trim just to see where the Cutter touches
