I bought some once fired brass (300 Win Mag) from the Gun Broker site, the brass in question was from a batch of Hornady custom factory loads. I turns out it's Frontier brass, but from what I understand, it's good quality stuff and Hornady uses several different manufactures of brass for their custom loads. After tumbling the brass I wondered if it might need to be trimmed. According to the several reloading manuals I have, it should be trimmed to 2.610" in length, however, my brass is 2.590" on average. I don't get it! I have yet to get once fired stuff that is undersize. Anybody else ever run into this? Should I reload it, would it be safe to shoot? Maybe after I fired it it would stretch out a bit...? HELP!
