45/110 Trim ?

[march41]

Got the Norma brass.Trimmed to 2.885 chamber length after sizing.Lost .004 after expanding.Form fired to 2.877,then to 2.883 after neck size.Should I expand the rest of the cases before trimming? Bob.

sounds like you are within 2 tho of your goal , I think 2 tho clearance would be good , especially if you are match shooting , better too short by a hair , than too long and either crimp the bullet tight or fail to chamber a round.

Dean I just did 5 cases to try,they were down to 2.880 after expanding.I will shoot them tomorrow and remeasure them.May be I am trying to be too fussy.Bob.

Brass moves. So where ever you wind up they won't stay there indefinitely . So I would pick a number , trim them all the same and shoot them a lot. Check and trim once a year .and shoot .practice will do you a lot more good than a thousands or two on brass length,consistant is good fussy keeps you off the range. I would add in a smiley here if I knew how. You got her down pat sounds like ..

Yup, but not being fussy can lead to frustration too
