Short brass

[HawkDriver]

So I bought some once fired lapua brass and I was measuring it before I started my case prep process, turns out the guy I bought it from was a little over zealous with the trimmer. It is trimmed to 1.99", I keep mine at 2.07". Am I screwed with this brass? I know 0.1" isn't a lot but I've only been hand loading for about 2 years and used new brass to start so I've never encountered this problem before. Any ideas?

It's fine. Load and shoot. It will grow. I know a few people that trim to 2.000" instead of the 2.005" listed as the .308.

I've got new brass that was short too. Like ROB01 said, it will grow after you shoot it a couple of times. You are O.K.

Thanks. I didn't know if it would hurt anything or blow up in my face. I'd hate to waste $2k just because of brass I wasn't sure about.

If you use the X die the trim to length is shorter yet
