I am new to reloading, but have acquired most of what I need and have reloaded some ammunition from all new components.
The trimmed case length is supposed to 2.714. After firing the OAL of case is 2.716.
I have measured the chamber length with a Sinclair button in a new case to be 2.750.
Why if one fl resizes and loads the round otherwise correctly does the neck even need to be trimmed?
Will it ever approach the chamber length?
I could see that a too long case length would have overall more grip/friction on the bullet. Is that the issue.
Illuminate me please, and please excuse my ignorance.
Oh yeah, I couldn't decide which case trimmer to get and don't have one yet.
Thanks,
Forest
