    Not a lot of room for powder in a case that is 2.05 mm long to be fair....

    Your numbers don't stack up if you took .35 of an inch of the 308 case it would have no neck...

    If your cases are 0.035, 35 thou short they will still be ok in most circumstances

    On the bright side they won't need trimming again

    I have a bunch of cases of various cals trimmed too short. I plan to use them to practice dry firing at some stage when I need to practice at home for a better level of trigger control.

    Trim to for.308 is 2.005 not 2.05 so you might not be too short at all?
