[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2437018, member: 1521"] It can be a rule of thumb, once you consider WHY you're trimming to begin with and WHERE that brass came from.. For instance, if you're causing excess headspace with excess FL sizing to cause frequent trimming, then you're likely thinning brass at lower bodies. After all, what you trim away worked it's way up from somewhere. Personally, I nearly never have to trim, and it's as rare that I have to retire any cases. I don't choose cartridges that force it (something like a 30-06), and I don't FL size. So if I found that I did have to trim, something is wrong. My load is wrong, my die is a mismatch, etc. [/QUOTE]
