    Well damn. That blows that idea out of the water. I guess I will keep on keeping on then. Some of my brass gets sharp like yours, but I haven’t had any problems (except a few cuts on my hands) with them.

    In my experience this would be caused by either a dull cutter(less likely) or more likely trying to cut too fast. Just like cutting wood with a saw if you try to force the cut it makes it rougher, puts more stress on wood and saw. Try feeding your trimmer into the case slower and let the cutter cut. And deburring until you have sharp edge does not hurt anything unless you take off so much you actually shorten the case which can cause issues with crimping.

    That makes a lot of sense wolfdog, I will take a little more time and cut slower and see how that works.

    I’ll have to try and go slower. See if that does fix it. Thanks for the suggestions!
