Dusty Morningwood Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 (edited) I found this 3D printed jig in ebay. This one marked 12.7x44 from .50 Alaskan. Attaches to a small hobby chop saw. I removed one end to accommodate 32 gauge brass. So I am set up to make 12.7x44R from .50 Alaskan and .50-70 from 32 gauge. The 32 gauge needs to be cut and run in steps into .50-70 sizing die. Take it slow. Both cases then filed to length in a .50-70 trim die. Then prepare cases as usual.

Hoss Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 I got one of those mini chop saws from harbor freight, used it with a 3D printed Jig, to trim 45-70 to 45-60. Worked perfectly. Those are handy saws! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a guy who uses a piece of dowel rod cut to length and a utility knife to trim his shells. I was just showing one way to do it and maybe inspire some cowboy to come up with a different way.
