    Different case sizes

    Hey guys and gals,

    I have quite a few cases that are the same make and I resized them when I first started reloading and the ended up of various lengths. Maximum of 1.5mm difference. Now does this affect anything? It shouldn't in theory would it?

    Cheers,
    Grunta

    Yeah, you should trim them to the same length.
    Possibly the sizing ball in the F/L die dragging a bit in the neck, stretching the case more then others.
    Or if fired, more brass flow in some cases due to higher pressure.

    Could also be inconsistencys in the brass, just trim em all back to the same length, should be sweet.
