Need a little help. I traded some once fired brass out with a mutual friend. What Ive found is some of it falls below minimum case length after resizing. On average it ranges around 2.598 to 2.604. According to my books trim to length is 2.610 and max length is 2.620. Should I trash these pieces or load and fire away. Thanks in advance.
 
I don't throw brass away for being 0.022" too short, but I am just trying to kill deer at 600 yards, not target competition.
 
Isn't 0.022" too short. It's 22 thou under max case length. The 2.598" is only 12 thou under the trim-to. S'ok. 12 thou isn't a lot. Load 'em. They're going to stretch eventually anyway. Don't forget to chamfer and deburr.
 
Thanks guys. Im gonna keep em sorted and load a few and see what happens. Im sure they will stretch but I've never seen this before. Just seems weird that the cases would be short after firing.
