The semester is over, classes are passed, and a huge amount of stress has been removed.
So I grabbed about 100 223 cases that had been tumbled and trimmed, deburred, deprimed and cleaned the primer pocket. Really like the Wilson case trimmer.
Trimmed them to 1.750". I was really surprised at the number I had that were below the trim to length after being fired.
For those of you that reload, how close to the trim-to length do you find adequate. I'm just getting the hang of it so I'm trying not to be overly anal if the case is .002" too short, but I'm curious what the cut off is.
When I'm putting my actual precision loads together, I'll be a little more careful. It's not hard with this trimmer anyways.
