    Brass Length - when once fired is still too short?

    Hi everyone.

    I'm new to the reloading game and have a question regarding case length.
    I have 80 Norma 7mm-08 cases to reload, all fired once from my rifle.

    When I measured the cases they range from 2.017 - 2.027 inches in length.
    The max length for 7mm-08 according to Hornady manual is 2.035 inches.

    I'm a little worried that the variation in lengths will affect the uniformity of my rounds, there by affecting my group size.

    So my question is: Do I trim all cases to the length of the shortest case for uniformity, or is the not an issue?

    Thanks for your help.
