Was trimming up some brass and noticed that some of the cases (33 pieces) are .002 to .010 shorter than the Minimum length as suggested by Alexander Arms.
See Grendel Reloading Handbook Vol.1 page 38
Max 1.526
Min 1.520
I have heard that trimming back .010 shorter than Minimum will not hurt and to expect the case to grow every shot since the shoulder is at a angle of 30 degrees or less.
Factory 123grn SST case length is ~1.515 inches. Not sure why the Hornady loads are short from the start. My sized and loaded Lapua brass is about the same size as the Hornady. New Lapua (non-sized) is 1.513 to 1.516.
Just wondering what the Hordes thoughts are on this.
