Re: Giraud vs Gracey
The hardest thing about changing calibers with a gracey is adjusting the blades.... however this can easily be solved by getting a giraud bit, which is common for some folks running gracey.
Getting the new one piece cutter from giraud has been the biggest improvement for my gracey, that and adding an on/off switch.
Changing calibers involves two tools and a shell holder for the caliber... you unscrew the shellholder, use a screwdriver to loosen the screw for that. Then you use an allen wrench to loosen up the blade holder. Throw in the new shell holder, get it finger tight, put a piece of brass in to adjust the blade, lock the blade in, then dial back the shell holder and walk it in to get the right cutting depth, really less than 5 minutes from one complete set up to the next.
