You will just get a extra firing before you have to trim again, shoot away.

As a general rule, the SAMMI minimum length is .010 below the "Trim to" length, which in turn is .010 under the SAMMI Maximum length.
IOW you trimmed to the minimum length, so no problem.

I did that once with my 223 mini-14. Those cases never did grow and I could swear they produced less accuracy. That didn't put me off using them 'though. (1.25 MOA groups with longer necks).

Only .010???
Your chamber is probably .040 too long in the neck. Just shoot them tow or 3 times with your usual load and they will probably be back to normal length.
