    Crimping

    I like crimping but is there any point to it if the casings are not all the exact same length? Even within 5 thousands will it not change the pressures and make them less accurate?

    My question is why aren't they the same length?

    Because I don't trim below the lowest recommended length in the book. Some of them are already a few thousandths below that

    I just checked 25 casings. They are all within 3 thousandths. I suppose that shouldn't matter but wanted someone else's opinion. Thank you for the response!
