Thread: Overall case length queries.

Hi all I have just recently decided to get into reloading and have just cleaned resized, trimmed and chamfered/debured my first bit of brass (100 once fired Sako .308 brass from factory loads). Before doing anything to them I randomly measured a few and found that the lengths weren’t very consistent. With all being done here are the results;
23 of them are 2.010”
41 of them are 2.009”
20 of them are 2.008”
8 of them are 2.007”
5 of them are 2.006”
And one outlier of 2.003”
So I was wondering what is an acceptable difference is and what causes them to be smaller (I’m using a Lyman hand trimmer that has calibre guides to trim to)
