Question about trimmed brass.

[USN CHIEF]

Have a question. Just got done trimming a bunch of .223 and .308 that I have shot and or picked up at the range. I trimmed all the .223 brass to 1.750 and all the .308 to 2.005 like the reloading manual said, however, there were a few cases (about 50 of .223) that were trimmed to about 1.742 and 1.748 and a few cases (about 30) of .308 that were trimmed to about 1.995 to 2.003, is this brass still good?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Still good. (you know better than to listen to me, right?)

Try trimming your pinky. It will go good with your hand

Missed you on Saturday. Had a nice setup out there. Not one ATV'r or biker. Perfect spot. oh and the MAC works now

I hope you mean 1.750" and not 1.050"

If you are crimping it can cause problems but otherwise it will just grow a little next time you fire it and you won't even know about it when trimming again.

Yes that is what I meant to say in the OP Thanks for catching the typo..

Bro, my daughter ended up waking up at around 2am with a cold and she was up until like 5am. I felt really bad for over sleeping and not making it. Ended up going no where on Saturday, but my lil girl is doing better now...

Don't forget to chamfer them

What do you mean by that? I am using a Giruad Trimmer if that makes any difference.

[jandmtv]

Giraud trimmer chamfers and trims in one pass, USN you are GTG.
