416 rem mag case trimmer

[csmiffy]

I have to be fair but I haven't measured the cases so probably not imperative at the moment.
Been looking at a case trimmer for the 416. Not a lot here in Kiwiland.
Already have a Lyman ezee trim set but need a 416 pilot which I can't seem to find, I also have a lee quick trim, the one that looks the end of an old brace and bit but doesn't seem to be any dies for that either.
lee pilot and case holder like unicorn excrement and still need the cutter attachments.
Thoughts?

Trim die? Simple and easy. Also cheap.

Simplest and least expensive for best accuracy with repeatability is the Lee trim gauge. One universal cutter along with a 416 RM trim (length) gauge and dedicated shell holder. I understand availability of all such tools is the issue. No matter, cases must be trimmed or there will be risk of future serious high pressure problems! A simple but tedious method would be to size cases first. Then chuck base in electric drill and turn against file. Measure often with calipers to creep up on recommended exact case length. Drill press is easier... same method using file. De-burr mouth rim after trimming to length. Just a thought.

@fourfive8 yup that seems to be the issue. Not much around even the lee length gauge
