[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2791805, member: 116181"] If +/-0.002" is a reasonable tolerance for trimmed length of brass (straight from the Giraud manual, btw, their words), then 0.010" short is a good spec to work off of. Following the same logic of "book trim length" being 0.010" shorter than the theoretical chamber end based on a spec reamer. If you're really good with a machine or anal doing it by hand and can get +/-0.0005" (again, Giraud says you can do it, 'all within 0.001"'), 0.005" off the end works. Don't be shocked with you end up well over (0.020"-0.040") what the "book" says you should be at. Trust the tools and measurements. [/QUOTE]
