Hey guys, sorry to blow up this forum with 6bra questions, but this is definitely the go to place for people in the know.

I'm using Giraud's power case trimmer and would love to continue using it for the 6bra. At this point, it doesn't look like Giraud is cutting this case holder so I'm looking for an alternative (other than buying a blank and having a smith cut one).

Would the 6 dasher case holder work by chance?
 
Haven't tried it, but I've heard of others using the Dasher holder with the Giraud.

FWIW, my BRA cases all formed at 1.550 +/- 0.001 so they didn't need to be trimmed to even them up. They barely grow, my 6x fired brass is now at 1.554 so I'm still 0.015 short of chamber length. Haven't trimmed them yet and don't have plans to do so any time soon.

Have not asked for a custom holder myself, but I believe Doug will cut a custom one if you send him a few pieces of sized brass.

Call or check the website to confirm, but I believe that's what I saw last time I was on their site ordering some items.
