[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 837233, member: 39764"] People get overly anal (IMO) about case length. Keep in mind that all bottleneck cases grow a bit each time they are ignited, it's an inherent characteristic of the case and how it indexes in a rifle chamber. The materiaal (brass) 'flows' under ignition of powder pressure and moves toward the bottleneck and case mouth. I trim to Sammi length +- 0.003 and check after a couple loads and check for cracked case mouths and test springback and anneal at that time if necessary but thats for another thread.... Annealing has been discussed to death on this forum......:) When Len posts my review of the Little Crow Brass Trimmer or WFT as it is trademarked, I think you will find it interesting and enlightening.
