    Trimming

    I just trimmed some .223 and I did not realize the trim die loosed up until I finished a small batch. I mic them and they ranged from 1.731 - 1.739. Can they still be used?

      They will be fine, some people do this on purpose as not to have to trim every time. Load and shot with confidence.

        I would not lose a wink of sleep over it....... they are GTG.

          Good. I just checked some other unprocessed brass and I was seeing similar lengths. In the 1.736-8ish.

            If they will hold the bullet firmly, I would use them. They headspace on the shoulder.
