    So I have been on the search for a hull trimmer that actually works. I ordered the trim doctor from ballistic products, but have been told that it’s much to be desired, still haven’t received it yet. The next one I found was made by a person on 16 gauge forums. So I contacted him, six different emails, with no reply. One of the members on this site has one that was made by the guy on 16 forum, so I ask for some pictures.
    I started with a dowl rod and ended up with this trimmer

    Took some 2 3/4 cheddite hulls and went to work. This is after cutting them with the hull trimmer.

    Too bad your Trim Doctor didn’t show up sooner, you’d appreciate your homemade tool more.

    It finally got shipped today. Guess BP is really behind. I will try it out, but the home made one is really easy to use, and works great.

    Do 10 hulls with each, and post the time it took.

    Wow, I think you brought him back to life by making your own. Glad he’s OK.
