Hello all,  I have a quick question regarding 223 case length. When trimming your
brass, what length do you trimm yours to? According to my Lee manual, it states that
the max length shound not be longer than 1.760, so I have been trimming  mine
to 1.750. So am I in the same ballpark as some of you as to my trimmed 223 case
length?

1.750" is the recommended trim to length.

+1 max length is 1.76. Trim to length is 1.75

I have the Lee case trimmer set up that I use with a cordless drill. Just trim with one of these and it will automatically trim your brass to the right length. I even trim virgin brass with it. You'd be surprised how much it takes off of some of the cases. Then I also don't have to worry about trimming the reloads for a couple of reloadings.
