You can learn about all that by reading a good loading manual . All that stuff in the "flyover pages"
If the recipe says 2.2" OAL, and it assumes my brass is 1.76" long, and I trim to 1.75" and seat the bullet to a 2.2" OAL, I have now reduced the volume behind the bullet beyond what the recipe specified, potentially raising the pressure beyond the never exceed limit.
Am I right here?

No this made no sense. 9mm indexes the case in the chamber off of the case mouth. If the case was abnormally long, the chamber cannot lock up to fire. the OAL of the completed round makes no difference in this equasion
I don’t crimp 223 but don’t ask how I figured that out you can bulge the shoulder to the point it wont chamber.
We all have to learn. Nobody knew everything, especially from the beginning. Some forget that.308Loader -
I read, and watch the vids, and I come here and ask questions. I have yet to charge a case, because I'm working this stuff out before I do something stupid.
It took a page of people beating it into my head to make sense of it, but it finally worked. So, there may be some hope for me!
