Dean what length did you start with the Norma brass?The BACO brass I got with the rifle runs about 2.875. I thank you for any advice.
I have had 4 rifles and they are all a bit different ,my bull is longest at 2.896
my short barrel rifle is 2,881 the other is 2.884. I would wait to trim until I got the rifle and measured the chamber ,if you want them perfect , and also they will shrink a but when fired the first time.
