I just got 2000 new Starline brass in .357, and have a few questions before I waste any unnessesary time prepping them.
I've found the general concensus here is to size before trimming. I ran about 500 through full lenght resizing (and yes, they did stretch about .002 - .003). I measured EVERY one (I have a great job where I can do this at work in my spare time - nice to get paid while I do this). They vary in length from 1.275 up to 1.283. Is this good for new brass?
I want to trim them all to the same length, and to have them all perfect at 1.275 would be optimal, but unrealistic.
So, how close is close enough? +/- .001? +/- .002?
Hope I'm posting in the right place - sorry if it's not.
