    What would you do??

    Looked back at some of my first rounds I loaded and noticed they are short on the OAL. Data says min OAL is .960 but mine are measuring at .945ish. Should I pull them or shoot them? Factory rounds is .943

    Depends on the load. If it was middle of the road, shoot em.
    If they were up near max, I would pull them

    If you are barely above starting load then you SHOULD be fine. My judgement would be that I would shoot them but proceed cautiously, however if we are talking just a few rounds I would probably pull them.
