case length

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.

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.
