Hornady Cam-Lock Case Trimmer with Original Box and Seven Pilots
Description
This Hornady Cam-Lock Trimmer is a precision reloading tool designed for the accurate trimming of brass cartridge cases. The unit features a heavy cast-metal frame finished in a textured red powder coat. A silver metal label is affixed to the right side of the frame, reading “MANUFACTURED BY Hornady RELOADERS Grand Island, Nebraska” and featuring the company’s trademark “H” logo. The mechanical assembly includes a silver-tone steel shaft equipped with a cam-lock lever for securing the cartridge case, a micrometer-adjustable cutting head with a manual crank handle for depth control, and a large knurled adjustment knob on the left of the frame to accommodate varying case lengths.
The trimmer is accompanied by its original cardboard retail box, which displays the product name “CAM-LOCK TRIMMER” and provides a detailed features list. According to the packaging, the trimmer includes a micrometer adjustable cutter capable of adjustments in 1/1000-inch increments and utilizes standard Hornady shell holders. The box further indicates the inclusion of seven pilots in common calibers: .22, 6mm, .270, 7mm, 30 cal, 38 cal, and 45 cal. Several of these steel pilots are visible within the assembly or packaging. The item is manufactured in Grand Island, Nebraska, as stated on the frame’s factory label.
