[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 744368, member: 15748"] jr1966, It's fine, no worries at all. The max length for a 223 case is 1.760", and 1.750" is normally listed as the "trim to" length. Thre's nothing magic about this number, and .010" is just what most soruces have decided to call "good" enough to trim to. It's the other way that causes trouble; letting them get too long. Then you're into a potential safety problem. Below that, no problem. You will see some variables come into play if you're crimping these rounds, but as a general rule, I'd recommend against crimping if at all possible anyway. [/QUOTE]
