Got a 1000 rounds of 223 brass from a company in Kansas called R3 Brass. It’s once fired military. The ones I have measured are under 1.740...3 thousands or so. All my manuals say a 223 case should be 1.750. I full length sized a few and they come out at 1.740. Is this too short? Any advice would be appreciated.

Shouldn't be an issue IMO.

Some 223/5.56 cases run short. I've encountered the 1.74" in some Federal cases. I've loaded some, no issues.

Measure the Brass after you resize it.

Load shoot repeat .
As long as the bullet is near about the lands your fine.
Only issue you may have depending on your crimp method if any.
