I got curious because of one of the posts here today and I measured out my 38 special brass.
I found that it was rare for any of the brass to be longer then the trim to length. Most of this stuff is 10 times fired and it all is short of the trim to length of 1.145. Most of it was running around 1.135 to 1.140.
I was debating trimming everything to 1.135 but that seems a bit excessive. My other solution was to buy new Starline brass and keep it segregated to get a better crimp overall.
Anyone experience this before?
