I noticed that Lee and Nosler only list the case length of 0.898" and no trim length. Sierra, Hornady and Hodgdon list a length of 0.893". While Accurate,Lyman 49, Barnes and Speer list a trim length of 0.888". To add to the confusion Lyman Cast 3rd ed. list a trim length of 0.895", but a few new cases I measured from Top Brass and some once fired are not even that long in 45 acp. I would have a pistolsmith take a look at the guns.
