223 trim length

[Woodythedog]

According to the Lee book, .223 should be 1.760 length. I was just watching a you tube video and the guy was trimming to 1.752. I am new to 223 and so far have worked the primer pockets and sized the range pick up brass(mine and others). Now ready for trimming. What do the experienced reloaders trim to.
Thanks

1.755 to 1.745 is acceptable for my use. I personally trim to 1.750.

1.760 is max length and should not exceed this value when loading.

Hellcat hit it right on the nose. 1.760 is the maximum length that will allow the cartridge to chamber. I personally trim to 1.745 which allows me to not have to trim when it comes to reloading the case the 2nd time

I haven't checked length since I checked my first few trims after I got me a WFT, as they were all w/in spec OOTB, and I don't think I have re-fired any cases after the WFT was used, but it seems to be quite a time-saver for $75...

I am DEFINITELY going to get a dedicated .308 WFT, once in TX, too...

Trim to 1.750".
1.760" is the maximum length.
