Has anyone here used the new seating dies with the "window?" Anyone got a .308 trimmer they want to get rid of?

I loaded a butt load of 222 Rem (not a typo) on that die set roughly 10 years ago. Loved the seater for the little 22 call bullets, it just made life easier. For the larger 30 caliber bullets probably not as much difference, but the micrometer adjustment will still be wonderful.

Just get the Lee Quick Trim Deluxe and .308 die

Quick, easy and accurate(repeatable).

I load my precision .308 with all Lee dies and get excellent results. The micrometer adjustment is nice but I cant justify the extra cost when I get the results I do with the "Lee crap".
