Naka16 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I would trim it,but that's just me. If it was say 1.75, most times I would run with it. Do you have a trimmer? I know its a pain to trim cases, just got done doing around 100 of my 30-06 cases. On my 300 win mag rifle, I had some cases stuck in the chamber after firing for about 30 seconds, then it extracts ok. I marked all of the cases that were getting stuck and when I got home, I found those to be .010 or so above the max case length. That being said, it really depends on your rifle, .005 should be ok, but if it were me, I would trim it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpeltier Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I wouldnt waste my time trimming that brass. A good amount of factory loads as well as nato ammo is longer than that. My old hodgden manual listed max length at 1.760. I have some Ammo from a respected manufacturer that measures 1.77 and functions perfectly in four different bbls. I would load a few and try them first to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighCountryStalker Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 1.76 is noted Max length with a trim to length of 1.75. Unless you have a very finicky gun you should be fine for another reloading at least. Would I trim if mine were 1.75? Not unless I had others that needed trimming but if I did have others that needed it I'd throw that one in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
