trimming cases
#13
I emailed Sinclair about their statement on case length below:
Quote:The differences between published trim lengths and the actual length of your chamber can be quite significant. You could be over trimming your cases by .030 inch or more.

This is the explanation they emailed me today:
Quote:By allowing your neck to remain longer than published trim to lengths. You can gain better support for your bullets if you are trying to load bullets to reach or come close to lands of your rifle chamber.

Also the information I posted previously about going past max book case trim length was taken from several posts on the "AccurateShooter dot com" forum under Reloading. There are multiple threads there on the subject. Just search for "rifle max case trim length".

One thing I have noticed is that not in one of the threads or the email that I received has anyone mentioned anything about pressure or if it is dangerous to do unless you get the case neck up into the throat. Just an observation of mine.
