[QUOTE="marktrail, post: 1577704, member: 8056"] HWY1STRAT, Some loading manuals, Lyman among them and many articles I have read recommend trimming 10 thousandths under sammi spec if cases need trimming. In the Hornady manual when loading the FTX bullets in 44 mag they emphasize to trim 30 thousandths below sammi. When I do trim I trim all the cases that I am loading for that caliber to 10 thousandths under sammi so the cases are in uniform length rather than just trim the over length cases. As long as the neck holds the bullet securely and you seat to the same COAL as before IMHO I fail to see where it would make a difference although I am not an expert.
