Trimming Pistol Brass

[FM12]

Been reloading here for about 30 years,NEVER trimmed a piece of straight walled handgun brass. Rifle bottleneck brass, yes (The WORST part of rifle reloading IMO). Clean it and go.

I have been loading over 30 years and I am just now starting to really think about trimming my revolver brass. I am trying to squeeze out more accuracy and I think that inconsistent crimps maybe my current limitation. So, for grins I am going to trim all of my brass to one length and see if it matters.

I have a power RCBS trimmer so it won't be a very big deal.

hummm those old loads don't shoot like they used to ?
If you are like me and over forty-five you have more to worry about than just crimps -oo-

No, they are about what they always have been. I have just gotten better so now I notice the difference. I just want to take my shooting up a notch and this is the next step I think.
