I've read that some reloaders, when trimming rifle cases, will trim to minimum case length so that they won't have to trim again for two or three firings.
My once fired 30-06 brass, after resizing, measures 2.494" which is the specified length in my Speer reloading manual #10.
Three questions.
1) Will these cases be ok for another firing before trimming or should I go ahead and trim (since they are at the outside tolerance).
2) Is it practical to try to cycle these cases through my rifle to see if they will work?
3) Where could I find these "minimum lengths" since my book only gives one figure?
thanx.
