Default RE: Trimming Brass

Well, here goes! I like to shoot competition, in those guns I use for matches consistancy is everything to me. I have a trimmer for each comp. gun and trim after every firing. Sometimes I don't believe I'm even taking off .0005" But at least I know everything is exactly the same. I wont have one case that is .002 longer than another and I'll also know each one is sqared off to the best of my ability. Does it make a difference? Probably not one that you will see in a 100 yards and maybe not one you'll see in a 1000 yards. But this way I know I have done everthing possible for consistancy.

Hunting rifles, different story. Just so they are within specs I'm satisfied. I don't believe the gun is accurate enough to spend the time in case prep you do for a Custom rig.

I was at a match last summer and one of the other guys said ".001 here and .0005 there and one little puff of wind and its all out the window" How true it is!
