cases trimmed too far
Hello, I hope someone will be able to help, I made a mistake with trimming win 25 06 brass and have trimmed about 10 thou too much off. Does anyone see this as being a problem?
cheers.

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.

Are the bullets falling out?

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.
