Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Max Case Length?
Posted: 12/1/2007 10:14:19 AM EDT
What is the max case length. I found a spec of 3.902 for trim to length.....Should I extrapolate that to 3.912 as Max length?

I have once fired brass that I have resized in a Lee FL die.

I trim mine to 3.89

Do you trim them every time you shoot?

Only the M2HB brass gets trimmed alot.
My bolt gun brass doesn't grow as fast.  I can feel when it's getting a little long when chambering a round.
How fast it 'grows' will depend on your load, chamber spec, and reloading dies.

3.910

The military spec sheet will show a max length for brass t that length.
