[QUOTE="BK6x47L, post: 642021, member: 22296"] If they are all under max, one option is to shoot them, then size and trim. Once they are fireformed, you will be able to keep them at a consistent length. If you trim first, I think they will vary by a few thousandths after the first firing. If this is a hunting rifle, case length is probably moot. I haven't seen that varying case length affects hunting accuracy. If shooting F-class or other competition or your rifle shoots 1/4 min or less, then it may. I, too, used to get more hung up on case length. Your chamber is probably much longer than Saami, anyway. I now have chamber gauges to measure the length of MY chamber. then I trim .010 less than MY max length, which in some cases is still longer than SAAMI. [/QUOTE]
