[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 899954, member: 39801"] Most reloading manuals list both a trim-to length and a max length. The thought process being once you get a lot of brass up around the max length, you trim them all to trim-to length. I used to be an "every time" trimmer - making sure all loads were exactly the same for trim length. For giggles, I made up, mixed, and shot some loads that were near max and others I had trimmed to "trim-to". The net result was: nothing. They shot the same for me. Now I only trim when my cases get long. I use my reloading OCD on other brass prep and bullet seating steps. Bottom line- for any SAAMI chamber (all in-spec factory guns for sure) you should be fine as long as you are at listed max length or under. [/QUOTE]
