I have a lee trimmer that you put in your drill with a shell holder. The cutter has a screw in shaft to set the trim length. It is cheap, simple and quick.
My holder has been used so much that the steel rod that controls trim length has worn a divot in the base of the shell holder. The trim length for 223 is 1.750 and it is trimming it to 1.744. I am going to get a new drill insert(or whatever they call it) but I can't find one in town right now and I don't want to spend more on shipping than the part.
Question is will it hurt anything to trim the brass slightly short. I am shooting this through an AR, if that makes any difference.
