big country, no I don't trim after every couple of shots, for some reason sometimes I need to, but then on my 338 fed and 358 win, heck I might get 6 shots or so between trimmings. What I ment was you will get your normal amout of shots plus one or 2 before you need to trim again.

very seldom do I trim cases, cause I hate it! If my standard cartridge brass starts to get long I trash it and buy new. I'll trim the brass for my wildcats if it needs it. If you load cheap brass at max pressures its not worth trimming anyway IMO.
The above info is valid only if your dies are adjusted correctly!!!!

0.01" won't hurt anything, just trim them all uniform and start loading. I make my 257 Wby cases from 7mm Rem Mag brass, which is 0.04" to 0.05" shorter than the Wby brass after necking down. Doesn't make a bit of difference in my rifle, but my budget appreciates the difference.
