The issue you will find is a shorter case! That is, when you seat a bullet to the same depth (same place on the bullet body) you will have up to .030" less neck to hold the bullet and that much less case body for powder.
This could have no impact for what you are reloading. Some instances it could matter:
- Loads with bulky powder like Varget need all the case capacity they can get, it is usually a heavily compressed load. A shorter case may reduce the max powder charge you can compress into the case.
- A shorter neck (and 1.730" will be quite noticeably shorter) may not allow you to seat shorter bullets out as far to get better accuracy.
BTW, the cases often lengthen after you full length resize. So if you have not resized yet, be sure to measure their lengths AFTER sizing and then trim.
I trim to 1.750" and anything below that gets loaded as-is, and will eventually lengthen to need trimming.
