RCBS 30-06 dies purchased in 1965, with the file type case trim die. And the RCBS A-2 Press. Trimming 30-06 cases the old fashioned way after sizing. And touching up with the L.E. Wilson tool for chamfering case mouths.

Sometimes the old way is fun. (I have two rotary trimmers on the shelf)

You have a great press to use those file trim dies on. The angle allows the filings to fall away from the ram and not down into the press body/ram interface.
 
I like the A2, finally found one a few months ago in great shape. Been using the Rockchucker, but I wanted the height capacity of the A2 for the big bore cartridges.

And the A2 has more leverage. A tribute to Fred Huntington's skills way back in the 1940's.
