Hello all. Starting to get my reloading equipment togather for my 300 Blkout. Looking for a mini chopsaw but the harbor freight one is discontinued. Anyone know where i can get a similar one? Also who makes the fastest and best jig for cutting 223 down to 300 .... thanks all

Amazon has some listed. Mini-miter saw.  Not as cheap as HF.  Do you have a table saw?  Make your own jig and do several at a time. 

I thought about making that wooden jig so i could cut down a dozen or so at once but i dont have a band saw.or a tablesaw... I guess i could rig my sawzaw in a vise and try that but i do kinda like my fingers...lol...thanks T bill I did contact Harbor freight and they said i might e able to order one on their web site

Remember the 20% off coupon found monthly in the NRA publications and other ones.

I bought the HF one, and hated it. Either the WFT or the CTS trimmer work well. I don't cut my brass down anymore, I just full length resize and pop it in the trimmer. Edges come out square. Probably about the same cost as the saw.

WOW! Lots of brass dust.  Table saw with jig and proper blade work fine for me.  If I get time I'll go to the shop and do it on the lathe or Brigport, but, lately not seeing the need.  Run them 12 at a time on the table saw, size, trim, and if I feel the need anneal them, GTG.  Been using all the brass that has bad case necks from 223s, seem to have enough of them.  Powder is the problem right now. No AA1680, no Lil'Gun, working with H4198/IMR 4198, H110/W296

Tbill just ramping up to start reloading figured id get the cases converted first. I bougbt the bandsaw and going to make the jig so I can do a dozen at a time. Ordered the worlds best trimmer and a lee die set along with a single stage challenger press. Oh yeah and a lyman pro magnum tumbler. After i get rolling iam thinking of the lee load master progressive press. I had a lee pro 1000 in the past and it worked awesome for handgun ammo.... am i missing anything....

Just the usual items for reloading.  Primer pocket tools, powder measure, etc.  Maybe a depriming die.  Can be done just takes time.  I find cutting the old brass just below the shoulder works best.  I deprime, primer pocket swage, clean the old brass first so I can sort through them.  I have been using mostly milsurp brass with bad necks for this.  Then cut a few, size them, then check to see how much to trim.  Adjust if necessary.  Then back to cutting, checking every couple hundred of so.  When I make 300 blackout brass I  do it in bigger lots.  Try to have a 50 cal can available.

Ordered the worlds best trimmer 

 

Giraud set up for 300 black?  

Heavypop.... man ive seen that but around 400 bucks? Really nice piece of equipment but at this point in the game I just need to get up and running.... someday I might upgrade though...

I have the giraud and it's prob the best investment I've made. I have heads for .223, 300 and 308. Super fast and easy. I have the worlds best trimmer for 5.7 because there is no case and trimmer for the giraud.

Sorry -- I didn't realize the worlds best trimmer was actually the name of a trimmer

 

I will buy a giraud once I get serious about loading .223 and 300 black --  right now I just don't shoot enough rifle to need the giraud

 

Maybe once I build a 300 --  I've got buckets of once fired .223 brass that needs converting

Let us know how it goes with the HF chopsaw?  I'm considering it as well.  

Went the bandsaw route with a wooden jig. Can trim a dozen cases at a time and with a sharp blade not much deburing needed before sizing.

Oh and now I can make bird houses for the wife....lol
