Speed of Giraud Trimmer and Dillon 550 B

Paul,

I have loaded thousands of rounds on my 550. All pistol though. Always wanted to try to reload rifle. Sounds great
and much faster than on a singlestage. I assume you are using a ball powder as I would be concerned with bridging
of the powder in the charger with a stick powder. Now that I have switched from Varget to TAC for Highpower
I will have to try the 550 out.

Did you get Popeye forarms w/ the Giraud trimmer? As I understand it you need to twist the brass as you size it.
That seems to be be tireing in the forearm? I am torn between a Giraud and a Dillon trimmer. I have the Gracey
now and it is cool, but I think the Giraud has surpased it. The Gracey works just like a pencil sharpener, just stick it in.

Anyway, thanks for the report, you may cost me some cash on a new trimmer :)
