Giruad Tri way trimmer and 20 caliber brass

[jpx2rk]

Does anyone use the Giraud tri way trimmer on 20 Practical and 204R bras?? Their website indicates the 223 size works on several different cases under the 223 parent case, and does list the 204R specifically, but looking for some first hand experience/opinions?

I have run the Giraud Power Trimmer with 20 cal no problems.

If Doug has it listed on his site, it will work. I have 3 of the Tri-Way Trimmers and they work excellent, but I have only trimmed 223 brass with that particular one. I own the 223, 308 and 300 blackout.

The nice thing about Doug's Tri-Way Trimmers is that they chamfer outside and inside as it trims the length. The WFT doesn't do that. However the WFT has some cartridges that are not available in a Tri-Way. Everything is available for the larger timmer. 8.6 blackout and 6.5 Grendel are 2 that are not available in a Tri-Way but are in a WFT. Requires manual chamfering.

I've trimmed 10K+ 20 Vartargs on a Giraud when making them from Lake City brass....no problems.

Usually have to trim .005+ depending on how accurate I've set the cutoff saw. It wouldn't be practical without the Giraud.

did you use the "tri-way" trimmer or the power trimmer model?
