From the VihtaVuori Reloading Manual 3rd Edition (CIP Max dimensions):

Max Case length - 2.941 (74.7 mm) - trim to 2.933 (74.5 mm)
OAL - 3.721" (94.5 mm)

Same figures in Norma and Nobel Sport manuals, EXCEPT - OAL in inches is listed in Norma and Nobel as 3.720 and neither provide a "trim to" length.

The A-Square reloading manual shows 2.930" as the "trim to length."

Seems to work fine.

In that length I would trim 0.010" from the max. I loaded my first 100 by taking the first 30 cases that were quite close in length to load. After those are shot I will use the Forster trimmer as I now have the correct size tooling. Packy.
