I have a Marlin 336C that I am trying to reload for and I am having some trouble with the case length.
My Lyman manual says trim length to 2.029 and max length is 2.039. After full length re-sizing the case length is 2.034 or 2.035 just barely under max length. I tried trimming the case to 2.029 with a lee case trimmer cutter and lock stud for 30-30. Well the case trimmer doesn't cut anything and just spins. I tried chucking it up in my drill and same thing just spins really fast and doesn't cut anything lol.
So I am not too sure what to do at the moment, is it safe just to leave the cases at 2.034 or should I go out and buy a bench mount case trimmer like Horandy? I have been waiting to get one, but everytime I see the price of one I change my mind. lol
