John, good idea for doing it by hand. I use either the wooden dowel with a single edge razor stuck in down in my basement it or if doing a bunch by my band saw in the shop. I have a piece of wood cut the correct length clamped down. The shell rim can stick over the edge of the board. My last 100 10ga shells were cut 2 7/8" in about 5 minutes or so.
