[QUOTE="Winchester 69, post: 352590, member: 8037"] The message you should be getting is that the Lee tool is going to cut to a length. If the brass is longer it will be that length. If the brass is shorter, it won't cut. Whatever spec SAMMI has published is pretty much irrelevant, whether its max or trim-to. Factory barrels, though cut with the same spec reamer, will vary, but will all be generous. What trimmed length adjusts is neck tension. If they're all cut the same, neck tension will track. When you start shooting expensive, custom barrels, you may wish to be concerned with proximity of the neck to the end of the chamber simply to minimize erosion. Not everyone is. For that degree of attentiveness, the Sinclair piece and a lathe-type trimmer will be required. With the Lee tool, all you can do is to trim the things. You're avoiding having the case neck jam in the leade as much as equalizing the cases. [/QUOTE]
