This, but I'm wondering how much velocity he really loses. My 12" is flinging 165gr FTX at 2050fps with 25gr LilGun. If I push it, can hit almost 2000 with 180gr powerpoints. IIRC a 24" barrel is only getting an extra 200fps for twice the length... but then hang a 7" silencer off it and give it to the wife who's 5'2" and she's going to slap you.
The FTX with excellent handloads is almost MOA. I honestly don't feel like putting that much effort into them, and run just under 2moa. Plenty accurate for a 125/150yd gun, that will realistically be shot at 75yds or less, probably less than 35 from the stand. Some of the lazy loads shot just as good. Everything goes to the same POI.
Basically just skip trimming, leave burr in flash hole, don't bother sorting out the short cases. I just trim the ones that are too long.
