The trim to length is 2.005"
Case length is stated at 2.015"
Some I just resized are around 2.02 to 2.025, but they drop into the chamber just fine and the bolt closes.
I have no plans to trim every time I shoot these, or more often than I absolutely need to.
Should I plan to trim these when they go over:

2.035?
2.030?
2.025?
2.020?
2.015?
