Case Trimmed To Short

[DamnYuppie]

I have some .308 Winchester brass that apparently are shorter then the rest. They vary from being .002 to .007 shorter then my trim to length of 2.005.

What issues if any are there of loading these up? Would there be any real performance difference, more then 1 MOA, between these and those that have the correct case size given everything else being the same?

I can't see where .0007 is gonna make ant difference. That ain't much.

Even if you mean .002-.007 shorter (2.003-1.998" ) I doubt you will notice a difference. If you were roll crimping it might make a difference, but on a bolt gun wher a crimp is not needed, you will be fine.

Thanks for the quick feedback. You guys are correct on the measurement size, I edited the original post.

Thanks!

They'll be fine to shoot, use them for practice if it bothers you too much. (There is a mental/confidence asspect to consider.)

After you fire them a once or twice they'll be back to proper length.
