[QUOTE="jaybic, post: 960273, member: 17055"] Hey all, I am still in the learning process with my first .243 AI and I have a question about case trimming. I see it a lot that case trimming is supposed to be virtually eliminated with this round but I find that I am still trimming. I started with 100 brand new Lapua cases, trimmed them all to the shortest one...about 2.016....(which is a good bit shorter that the standard .243 "trim to" length....2.035 if I remember correctly) and fire formed them. Upon measuring them afterward, they call came out varying different lengths so here is my question. do I trim them back yet again to the shortest one for consistencies sake? do I just leave them be and shoot them until they "grow" into my chamber dimensions? If so, will then then stop being different at that point? Am I doing something wrong? I just seems that for a round that is supposed to virtually eliminate case trimming, I am not see it or I am screwing it up some how.... Thanks ladies and gents and any ideas/advice is surely appreciated. Have a great day! Jamie [/QUOTE]
