[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3069601, member: 15054"] Trimming .020" short to me is a non issue. I have got factory cases that were much shorter and factory Quality control slips many times . I do not feel my post was bad advice. i wrote. After you reload for some time you will discover what makes the most differences for you and your rifles. And after you check thousands of cases for dimensions you will find those odd ball out of spec factory cases. Just saying if you find some that are short do not toss them thinking they are unsafe. How short do you think some of those wildcats were .. How about before fire forming a wildcat? And that goes right back to : After you reload for some time. We were all newbies once. I did not even have a scale I did not measure case length. I used the old Lee Classic Loader... Wack-A-Mole and it was 30-30. Seated to the crimp groove filled case with a scooper. Later I got a press and all the bells and whistles. And the ammo it made for 30-30 was not any more accurate. I am not the only one in the world that started loading that way.. Just saying. If you find short cases and it bothers you that is good. Set the cases aside and a year from now you will probably use them. [/QUOTE]
