I done that once. Trimming those sucked. But I learned a trick or two and sped it up
What did you do today in the reloading room?

I took a hacksaw to these and it helped, as would have a trim die. But it really wasn't bad, and I've got lots of '06 brass.
I used a trim die and a drill. Don't remember what I used to cut them tho. Maybe a Lee cutter. It took some ingenuity

I processed 300 pcs of 22-250 brass for a 8 twist tikka I got awhile back, 70 pcs of 22 hornet brass, and 100 pcs of 6.5 cm brass.
What bullet you planning in the tikka? Thinking that may be my next adventure
Loaded 200 223s with 73gr eldm. Weighing each on a balance beam takes awhile, but I had a "sick" kid so it wasn't like I had anywhere to be.

Probably just 60 gr nosler btips for now, I got this particular rifle in case I wanted to venture up the the 70 gr accubond or the heavy eldm line
What's your powder for those? I used them some last year
Xbr 8208
I'm knocking out some more 6.5 grendel with 129 grain accubond long range and aa2520. This load is proving itself on hogs from short to long range. I bought 200 ABLR's initially just to see how they would do but definitely need more now and hopefully at blem prices instead of otherwise!

No work per se, but I did purchase a 8 pound jug of Vihtavuori N133. Should work very well in my .405 Winchester and a few other cartridges as well. Worked on prepping some new .340 Weatherby brass. Rifle is being built and should be here in another 3 months or so.

Got one broke off in me pretty good buying 2,000 primers, but hopefully I'll be able to sit down in a month or two.

Walked by the bench, looked it over longingly, then grabbed the .22 and went to the range for some match practice.
