Worlds Finest Trimmer Review

Posted on by

I have been using a RCBS trimpro for some time with decent results however I was looking for something faster and perhaps more accurate. I’ve been looking at The “worlds finest trimmer” (WFT) from little crow gunworks since Creedmoor started selling them. I like that it indexes on the shoulder this seems to make more sense.

I really like the idea of this trimmer. It’s design is very clever. It’s basically a drill bit with an assembly around it that holds a ball bearing that holds the shoulders of the case.

I’ve had some mixed results with it. On the plus side it is very fast and once it is set it keeps the brass within .01.

However it is not fun to set. I had a lot of trouble using the recommended method of inserting a case that is the proper size and adjusting the bit to touch the case mouth. In this case the trimmer seems to take around .03 more from the case. Some trial and error I was able to get it where I wanted it and I sure wont be changing it anytime soon .

Overall I would recommend this trimmer for at least casual or bulk reviewers. I am going to keep it to use for larger batches of reloads for the Garand however I’ve since picked up a Wilson trimmer which I prefer to this one.

Last match of the season

Posted on by

Shot my last match of the year in Sunday in the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Not planned but it seemed a fitting way to end the season.

I intended to take the 1917 for Armistice Day however with hurricane sandy and getting ready for deer season I didn’t have as much time as I wanted to practice and I didn’t want to end the season with 87 point. I shot pretty well the dry fire practice and changes I made to my sling really helped.

Now I just need to find some time to give my Garand a good detail strip and clean and start practicing for next season. I already have my hotel booked for Perry in the summer!

Re-crowning an M1 Garand

Posted on by

My Winchester Garand had a muzzle erosion of 3 and had a very beat up crown. I ordered I re-crowning tool from midway to try and clean it up a bit.

The first challenge was trying to find a tool that could take a 1/2″ bit. After a tour of several hardware stores I gave up and borrowed an old hand drill which fit.

I put a little bit of light oil (left over hone oil) on the bit and shaved the crown down a bit.

I am pleased with the results the crown looks nice. I may have take more off the end than I probably should have.

Post re-crowning the muzzle erosion has improved to around 2.25 if that improves accuracy or not I will find out on the next trip to the range.

White Oak Service Rifle Range Report

Posted on by

Took the new white oak service rifle out for its first trip to the range.

Needles to say I am very happy with its performance.

This is group is from the bench at a SR-1 target at 100 yards. Today was really just a function test I’ll work on zeroing it next weekend, as you see it will need a couple clicks up.

The Geissele service rifle trigger I installed is just as good as the reviews. Breaks clean and crisp every time.

I’m excited to take her to a match and see what she can do.

White Oak Service Rifle here!

18-20 weeks later the White Oak service rifle upper I ordered has arrived. It will be a couple weeks until I get it built however I am already impressed with its quality clearly a lot of care was taken in building it. Hopefully I’ll get it together in time for a high power match before the end of the year. Of course I will have to man up and learn to shoot sitting.

And here she is all built. Just waiting on a new turner sling.
