[QUOTE="lever-hed, post: 352592, member: 11667"] [FONT=Arial]The “trim to” length is the minimum case length, but it does not have to be cut to min. SAAMI sets the range that you should stay within, but it is not a hard and fast rule. I have bought cases that were a little shorter than min. and shot fine. However, be careful not to let your case get too long (past max) as they could eventually crimp your bullet in the case on the end of the chamber (= catastrophic failure). The Lee trimmers are fine, but would recommend the Wison trimmer if you are able - very consistent quality cutter, allows much more flexibility on trim length. Sounds like you need to get your hands on a reloading manual such as Sierra, or Nosler (read it man).. good luck!
