I hope that some of you old hands at reloading can help me with this. Are cartridges supposed to vary in length even when no adjustment has been made to the seating die? Without making any changes while seating the same bullets from the same box, I often can have as much as +/- .002" to .005" amount of variance in the OAL of the finished cartridge. Is this normal? Will this small amount of difference cause any detrimental effect on accuracy?

P.S. I trimmed all of my brass to the same length.
