Yes the case length matters, but I've never found a "FC" headstamp once-fired case that needed trimming -- they seem to start out short. Also the steel Wolf and Tula cases are reloadable and don't stretch (at least I think they don't, I haven't reloaded them very many times yet)
I resize and trim "LC" (and other) cases while I sit and watch TV. So when I'm ready to reload the cases are ready to go. I use a Lee trimmer and a cordless drill.
If you're loading .223 on a progressive press, you might wanna get a RCBS X-sizer die. It has a stop to prevent the cases from stretching when you resize them. (I have one in .30-06 but I haven't used it much.)
