[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1660172, member: 93846"] I like to run my cases right at the cartridge design maximum length in most of my rifles, if individual chamber cut allows that. Nearly all do. I use the [B]Lee Case Trimmer Cutter and Lock Stud[/B] setup but, cut shim washers from stainless steel feeler-gauges to sit on top of the case length gauge shoulder at the threaded end, to make the trim length the exact length I want, within 0.001". You have to sandwich the proper thickness shim (feeler gauge) between two steel plates or a homemade die to drill out the center hole without distorting the shim. I use another homemade die to punch out the outer dimension. Works great and you only have to make one shim per cartridge size. [/QUOTE]
