Unless you're going to crimp the cases and there's very little reason to do so....but some folks do so anyway!!!.....the only requirement is to have the case length not exceed the maximum.

.010 variance is not a problem at all!!!!....as long as they are short enough!

.......... A lot of people put a lot of stock in neck tension with the bullet. With a picked OAL and uneven lengthed cases, I don't think you can maintain that factor. Length of time in the neck at a given tension and point of tension is unreliable. Again, my advice is to trim. Period.
