I trim all of mine, both new and fired, to 2.90", as that's the nominal case length, and that's what I choose to use as the trim to length.

The technically correct trim to length is 2.89". Never understood that.

Who needs a built in 0.01" stretch factor?

Only the lazy don't check and trim cases. Wink

PC,

The trim length per A Square is 2.890" max case length is 2.900". Most of my cases start out around 2.88" to 2.885". It has taken many reloads to get them up to 2.895".
