    Quick case length question

    Lapua brass, trimmed case length supposed to be 2.155.
    I have accidently trimmed the first one to 2.135, that is it's trimmed 0.020 short.
    Would you load and use this case or should I chuck it
    cheers.

    Chuck it - in a courier bag to me


    What is this 'trimming' you speak of???
    Its 0.5mm - it will be 100% perfectly fine
