Hi,
Have just resized 40 norma cases in .243. The trim length data I have states trim length of 2.035". Most of the cases I randomly measured are shorter than this, some are 2.0280".
When I come to use these cases what do I do????. Do I trim them all to the shortest measured case or what. I'm still very new to reloading so I don't know what effect there will be, but if I seat the bullet in different length cases to a set overall cartridge length would that make my batch of finished cartridges inconsistent and not ideal??
I'm in no rush to do anything with these cases but compared to the Hornady & Fiocchi cases I have fully resized they are mostly longer than the overall case dimmension for a .243 (2.045") and have required trimming.
Thanks
