[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 2152574, member: 105459"] [I]Using a case length gage as well as a set of digital style calipers I suggest that that after you Fl resize that you check your overall length as well as your case dimension's every time. (hence the use of a case length gage). Refer to your recepie book in order to determine your correct case maximum O.A.L. as well as your trim to length and follow along. As for how often to trim your brass there are just too many variables that come into play here. Things like brand of brass ,as well as components that you use. How often you shoot and your rifles chamber dimensions are some of the items you must consider. Are you shooting more than one weapon in the same caliber? If the answer is yes all the more reason to check each case s length after Fl resizing! Cull any cases that are close to maximum overall length and reserve them for trimming.. I have found that a decent case trimmer is sold by Lyman and has stood the test of time for me. (I own 2 plus the Lyman case trim express which is motorized and yields consistent results with all my bottle neck case. Just my thoughts as there are many different manufacturers that produce similar equipment, however in all honesty I know that what I have listed above works for me.[/I] [/QUOTE]
