[QUOTE="Gene, post: 398153, member: 7402"] Its not likely that your brass will ever exceed that length. The danger in having case length excessive is that when chambered, the mouth will crimp up against the bullet, increasing chamber pressure. Most modern rifles will handle it, but there is always the chance that you could have a problem, particularly if your load is on the high size. I trim about .005 or .010" below SAMMI recommended length, check it every couple reloads. Trim more than that can encourage a carbon ring build up in the chamber just where the mouth ends. Carbon ring is not dangerous, but can be hard to remove. [/QUOTE]
