Hard to say without knowing your reamers exact dimensions.
My Gibbs data list the trim lengths at 2.494"

As usual just my $.02

If you fireformed your Gibbs brass from 06 I doubt if you will end up with any that measure 2.494". What I would do is measure the cases and trim them to match the shortest ones. However, if you have one or two that are considerably shorter than all others do not trim to that length. Toss them or use them for setting dies, etc. And I would not trim any of them until after I had fired them at least one time with a full power load.
