Oops! I trim my brass using a Lee hand tool. Can't use my Lee tool with Lapua 308 Palma SRP brass, the pin is too large, I would assume this would be a problem with all other SRP Lapua brass. Suggestions? I assume I could have a machinist /gunsmith turn the pin to a smaller diameter???? Or step up to a table mounted case trimmer which I assume wouldn't have that issue.
Thanks!
 
You can chuck the pin up in a drill and sand it down.

Or you can get a better trimmer.

I would get a batter trimmer that has a three way cutter available so you can trim chamfer and deburr all in one step.
