.243 case length
I'm getting ready to reload some .243 and measured my resized once fired federal brass at 2.044 - 2.045. Being that the max length is 2.045 would you experience reloaders say that I'm good to go for this round of reloading?
I know many of you will say "just give them a quick trim" trouble is I don't have a trimmer yet and I'm chomping at the bit to reload a batch.
Is it normal for only once fired brass to be at or near max length? They were fired from my axis if that means anything.
Cheers
Allan

You are good to go. It is normal. Brass "flows" quite a bit on hot loads in the 308 based cartridges. Not all brass is the same hardness so this is even more so with softer brass.
