Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed specifically for .38 Super case trimming, so it is not a general-purpose gauge for other calibers.
- It is intended for use with the Cutter and Lock Stud or Zip Trim, so it is not a standalone trimming solution.
- The trim range is fixed at .890 to .900 inches, which leaves little flexibility outside that specification.
- This is a case length gauge and holder, so it addresses trimming and squaring the case mouth rather than broader reloading tasks.
