[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1855603, member: 90080"] It's a good idea to measure your actual chamber case length first and trim cases to .010" short of that measurement. I've found I get more carbon ring buildup with shorter cases, so I started trimming to .005" under my measured chamber length. I do have to take care that my cases are not over that .005". It's fine to also use .010" under your chamber, to be safe. If your chamber and resizing die don't mesh well, you will be trimming more often. [/QUOTE]
