3 way brass trimmer on a budget

[streamerfish]

If I was going to go down that route, the Hornady 3 in 1 tool is what I would get also. I think your on a good track for what you want to do

I'm a couple of months into the Frankfort Arsenal prep center after years of using the Lee cutter and an electric drill motor.
The FA does a better job at everything and I got it for $150 on sale.
My hands thank me.

I’m just starting my reloading journey. I was in the boat of not trimming but after sizing roughly 350 pieces of Hornady brass shot out of my 6cm, I had maybe 80 that were still under max length. Is it just such bad brass or what is the deal with that?

There could be several reasons for it. First likely issues could be 1) Hornady is not great brass 2) Are you bumping the case 0.002” when resizing or do you set your sizing die screwed down until you get cam over in the press? You could easily be over sizing the brass causing the neck to thin then also causing it to need more frequent trimming.

Very new to reloading so I could very well be doing something wrong. I screw my resizing die until it hits shell holder and then 1/4 turn past that per RCBS YouTube video. Bad idea?
