Hi everyone, I am about to do some more reloading but I have hit a wee question with regards to brass length. I've sized all my brass out in different piles. I've 40 which are perfect as they are and don't need trimmed to size. The 40 are 2.008 inches long and trim size is min 2.005 and max col 2.015 so that 40 are good to go. I have 12 brass that are for some reason 1.999 inches long which are under the minimum trim length. Are these bin material now ?? I'm not wanting to go and use them if its a bad move. This is a 308 165 hornady load I'm making for reference. I read recently to long can be bad so maybe to short is bad to

Thanks for looking
Jamie
