I have been using the lee stud cutter for trimming 223 cases. Very consistent except for when I chamfer and debur. some are as high as 1.758 and some as low as 1.735 with more than 50% under 1.740. All within spec. I have sorted them according to their trimmed lengths and plan on loading them in batchs according to their lengths. just wondering if it is critical to keep and sort case lengths the same? mostly if not all will be for target ammo. will the different trim length be enough to affect accuracy? i plan on keeping the OAL the same regardless of the trim lenth. any inputs? (i know the crimp will vary with the length of the case.. could be a factor)
i have specifically kept all my 1.750 length batch for loading varmint rounds should i feel the need arise. that will be for another day.
