[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2373940, member: 116181"] Throat erosion no, carbon build up from being too short maybe. Unless your chamber is very long relative to the min-case trim length then my opinion is that's not something to worry about. Anyways, trimming. If you're mixing brass then yes, size it, trim it back, run it. If you have a nice single-lot batch of matched brass that you take care of, then buy a bore scope, run it down, look at where you actually are with a few cases, and trim cases consistently across the lot to the length your chamber needs. I don't think it'll make a big difference either way you do it, but I try to practice loading skills on easy cartridges so that hard cartridges go more smoothly down the road. 223 is an easy cartridge to practice on because it's cheap, yet has great potential at the same time.
