Quoted:
0.020 shorter than the maximum length is okay for .223 Rem cases (I guess, I don't want mine that short). I wouldn't use cases 0.020 shorter than the "trim to" length. how come? Seems they'd just have a bit of extra freebore, and so probably wouldn't be what you'd call match quality. But I don't see a safety issue. |

Just to express a general opinion here, less brass = less seal. Amoung other things the function of cartridge brass is to deform a little to seal preassure in the chamber. |
