[QUOTE="fguffey, post: 1870077, member: 113511"] All I can do when matching the case length is to trim all cases to the length of the shortest case. It seems the length is critical when the difference in length is a few .005"+/-. When I form cases I expect most of them to shorten .035". And then there is case neck length; I have a 30 Gibbs with a .217" length neck and a 300 Win Mag with a case neck length that is .270"+/-. And then there is the RCBS-X die. RCBS recommends the case be shortened .020" before the reloaders starts. And then there is the suggestion that shortening the case .020" will eliminated trimming. I do not agree but when the case neck increases .020" it would be time to start over with new cases. F. Guffey [/QUOTE]
