Sir. Please check your numbers. A .223 case is 1.760" max.

Thank you should of been 1.245

In a word No.

As when using the RCBS X Die a reloader had to trim 0.010 beyond the Trim To Length to use the die... so that would have been in 223 case 1.740.

The shorter neck may hinder accuracy...

1.245"? Really? That is 1/2 inch under. Do you mean 1.745"? If you do then that is OK.

Sounds like you need to turn it into 300BLK brass.

Make them into 300 blk.

Lesson learned, don't trim 223 cases below 1.750.

1.245"? There wouldnt be much neck and shoulder after being trimmed that far.
