    .223 to 300BLK cases

    Good day everyone. I recently took advantage of one of Wes' killer package deals and have 600 Speer nickel cases en route to me. My plan is to trim and reform these cases into 300 BLK cases for use with suppressed, subsonic loads. I'm wondering what model, small sized, chop saw and blade combo people are using when reprocessing large quantities? Usually if I have a .223 case with a cracked neck I hacksaw it at the shoulder and go from there. But I certainly don't want to do that for 600 cases! Thanks in advance for any information.

    I think most people use the Harbor Freight 2" Chop saw, and one of the Jigs made just for doing 300blk

    Seems like the remember seeing past posts on the old FB page, rest in peace, that favored that model but I wasn't sure[emoji848]. Thanks again @Wes Sage!

    Thanks for the input! I have a guy with a 3D printer making me the jig to accommodate the chop saw. It's somewhat experimental and if I find it doesn't work well I will definitely consider this item. I like the simplicity of it.
