    Engraving a serial number to my brass...

    Re: Engraving a serial number to my brass... One of more OCD types at our local club does that with a vibratory engraving pencil, like the police used to tell you engrave your DL number on the TV, etc. He has a small "short hand" code he engraves on each case just above the extractor groove...

    Help me cure case neck runout.

    Re: Help me cure case neck runout. Look for a bent decapping stem. Check your resizing die and make sure the decapping stem is centered 100% perfect with the die body opening. Not close or just about there, but exact. Doug Giraud Giraud Tool Company, Inc.

    Anybody have .375 RUM brass in stock?

    I checked Graf's, Midway, and half a dozen other websites. Nobody has .375 RUM in stock and Midway and Graf's show it as not available, not just backordered. Any suggestions on where to look for a small quantity of brass in this caliber? Please IM me if you have any suggestions, I don't want...

    Quick Observation: Giraud Tool Trimmer

    Re: Quick Observation: Giraud Tool Trimmer Nope, the reason I never pursued it was liability. I can just imagine somebody grabbing a freshly trimmed case by the mouth and jamming it against a primer pocket cutting bit turning at 2300 rpm. After cutting a perfect .30 caliber plug out of his...

    Case trimmers

    Re: Case trimmers No, those Redding rings are not the same for this application. The set screw impinges directly on the threads and messes them up. Once you have screwed that down into the threads, making fine adjustments is difficult because the set screw tries to force itself back into...

    Manual case trimming with 3 way cutters

    Re: Manual case trimming with 3 way cutters JWEM, I guess you never thought to inquire with the manufacturer if it was available? There are about 20 units already in the UK. Those customers took the time to ask. Doug Giraud Giraud Tool Co., Inc

    .260 Brass trimming?

    Re: .260 Brass trimming? 427, It came at that dimension because that is how far I set it up to adjust the chamfer. I make no claim to set the overall length any more than just "in the ball park." There are too many variables to be able to hit the exact number you want with your brass when...

    Power trimmer

    Re: Power trimmer If you are getting variations with the overall length with my trimmer, its because your headspace dimension is not consistent. With consistent headspace dimensions, the trimmer will hold .001" regularly. Doug Giraud Giraud Tool Company

    Giraud Case Trimmer

    Re: Giraud Case Trimmer I'll sell you the Forester or Hornady locking rings for an additional $5 each. Most folks already have some extra dies they don't use they can steal the lock rings off of. Just trying to keep the prices down, people think its expensive enough as it is. Thanks, Doug...

    Broke my 2nd Redding Comp Seater Die!!!

    Re: Broke my 2nd Redding Comp Seater Die!!! It is not an isolated incident with some highpower shooters using compressed loads. The seating stem that contacts the bullet is very thin. We see the stem split and start binding like you describe. Get a Forester BR seating die, same basic...

    Giraud is the best!

    Re: Giraud is the best! If you are not dragging an expander ball through the neck, then you are most probably using a neck bushing die set. Is your bushing nice and tight in the die body or floating to self center? If it is locked down tight in the die body, it is probably not concentric...

    Giraud Uneven Chamfer Problem

    Re: Giraud Uneven Chamfer Problem Check the neck wall thickness. If it is not uniform, it will always vary. The case is held concentric by the od, but cut on the id. Doug Giraud

    Giraud case trimmer questions? Likes dislikes?

    Re: Giraud case trimmer questions? Likes dislikes? Bachelor Jack, Most shooters who seriously reload have extra dies of some type they never use. Just take a lock ring off one of those unused dies and don't spend a penny extra. If you want, I have the forester lock rings for an...

    Giraud case trimmer questions? Likes dislikes?

    Re: Giraud case trimmer questions? Likes dislikes? I do offer them if you want them. The problem is that while some people think the machine is expensive, but worth it, for every ten orders, I get four complaints that its too expensive. Right now, I use the Dillon lock rings because they...

    Re: 243 Win, RCBS Comp Dies, Giraud Trimmer, Update Wade, If RCBS can't fix your die or doesn't want to help you, just send the case holder back to me with three or four of your "sticking" cases. I can open it up slightly so the cases will fit without restriction. I do this on occasion...

    I hate, HATE! Gracey power tools cutter blade

    Re: I hate, HATE! Gracey power tools cutter blade USMCj, The motor I sell, "for a shit load of money" is not the same one that you found on ebay. The motor I sell uses real sealed ball bearings and not bronze sleeve bearings. It comes with a switchbox pre-wired with a 6 foot cord, all the...

    .50 cal press? Load? Trimming?

    Re: .50 cal press? Load? Trimming? If you already have one of my machines for other calibers, why not get another case holder and cutter head for the .50BMG? The machine is fully capable of handling it. Doug Giraud Giraud Tool Company
