The Lyman Brass Smith Case Trim Xpress Bushing #3 is a precision case-trimming accessory built for reloaders who work with popular small-to-medium bottleneck rifle cartridges. This bushing fits the Lyman Case Trim Xpress system and is sized specifically for 17 Rem, 204 Ruger, 221 Fireball, 223 Rem, 222 Rem Mag, and 5.56x45mm cases. If you're loading ammo for AR-15s, varmint rifles, or other platforms that fire these rounds, a dedicated bushing ensures your cases are trimmed to spec consistently and without the hassle of swapping pilots.
The bushing's design centers and supports your case during the trim operation, allowing the cutter to work cleanly and smoothly. Its spring-loaded mechanism reduces effort and fatigue during bulk trimming sessions—you'll move through approximately 15 cases per minute, so a full batch doesn't eat up your bench time. For reloaders maintaining tight case length tolerances, this accessory is a straightforward upgrade that keeps your production efficient and your rounds dimensionally uniform.
Lyman's Brass Smith line focuses on practical, dependable case prep, and this bushing reflects that philosophy: uncomplicated, purpose-built, and designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing Case Trim Xpress setup. Whether you're a high-volume varmint hunter, precision rifle competitor, or dedicated AR handloader, the #3 bushing takes one variable out of your workflow.
