[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2511424, member: 116181"] Yes, don't ;) Start with measuring your chamber length, and if you want to once the brass is nice and stable trim to a uniform length if you want to.

I use the LE Wilson system when I do trim. I also use the WFT trimmers on high volume non-precision brass, or to trim off case length if I'm reforming cases to something new.
