I have browsed many gun sites but still have no clarity on this. My case length trimmer reduces my case length to 50mm. What is the minimum case length for this round? All answers that I have is that one must ensure that at least one third of the bullet is seated in the catridge case. This then brings me to ask what is the minumum round length of the .308

I am quite sure that my 50mm cases are fine but there must be a cut off lower limit such as the max length. Any comments?
