Check with http://www.sinclairintl.com/ they sell an Chamber Length Gage,

Quote from Sinclair web page.

"The Sinclair chamber Length Gages are designed so the handloader can determine the true length of his rifle's chamber when measuring from the bolt face to the end of the chamber neck. This will tell you how much excess case length your chamber may have over published specifications in reloading handbooks.

Handbooks usually publish trim lengths shorrter than the SAAMI minimum chamber length specifications. There is a minimum and maximumlength specification for most rifle chambers. This differnce alon can be as much as .030". If your chamber measures closer to the maximum chamber length, than you could be trimming your cases more than .030" shorter than chamber length."

Thanks sweede44mag,

I agree with everything you said, but right now I'm looking for handbook published figures.
