[QUOTE="best defense, post: 2843401, member: 25241"] I never trim new brass. I shoot it at least two times, then check all of the cases for length. At that point, I trim the brass but not to the shortest length. I find a length close to the shortest and trim to that. Eventually, the short one will stretch out to match the others. As far as resizing goes, I have found that if you get a small base sizing die, you can often push the brass back into shape that way, and it will chamber, but if you do that, keep an eye on the inside of the resized brass because it is probably about to split at the top of the web, and you can only discover that by checking with either a bore scope or with a little probe made to act like a scraper so you can feel a crack developing on the inside.
