[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 193976, member: 313"] I have always used the reloading manuals for the "trim to" length which is normally .010" shorter than the listed maximum length. If I am match prepping cases I prefer to fireform them to my actual chamber before uniformly trimming the cases. I would never trim to the shortest case length unless that is longer than the suggested "trim to" length. If the shortest case is excessively short; why ruin the rest of your brass to match it? In non match rifles I have found no tangible benefit to trimming cases at all, at least not for uniformity. However, cases must be trimmed (at some point) to avoiding excessive neck length which could eventually lead to dangerously high pressure. [/QUOTE]
