Question when Changing Brass/Giraud Trimmer

[Hoser]

Length is not a big deal at all. It is a deal if it gets long. As long as they are close to being the same length you are good to go.

For what its worth, I trim my 223 brass back to 1.740 or so that I never have to screw with trimming it again.

I am guessing the Wolf brass had a little more spring back and the shoulder did not bump quite as far so the shoulder to base length is longer. The shoulder to neck length is most likely the same.

Thanks for the replies, they all went through the case gauge just fine but the calipers gave the difference in length.

Any suggestions on the swaging? I've experimented a little with more swage and the primers seat like a dream, but they are significantly easier than I've experienced before so I'm concerned it may be too much. Is there a good way to gauge? I've loaded up a few batches with different swage amounts to shoot tonight and see if they pop any primers (the load is pretty mild) but I'd rather not wear out the brass unnecessarily.
