[QUOTE="tbrice23, post: 1090894, member: 59502"] I make my own custom maximum chamber length gauge by cutting half the neck off of a once fired case. Neck size the case, seat a bullet .1" shorter than max then slip the half neck piece over the bullet longer than it should be. I make sure the neck tention on the short piece is just enough to slide when chambered. Chamber the gauge a few times to ensure that I have a repeatable measurement. All of my factory barrels max chamber length is .025" to .035 longer than sammi maximum . My custom barrels are usually reasonably shorter. I always trim to .010 to .015 shorter than my max. Measurement if possible. But some of my brass never grow that long so, I trim them all as long as possible and exactly the same length every firing using the RCBS power trim pro with three way cutter heads. (It trims chamfers, reams and cuts all at the same time.) [/QUOTE]
