neck length and when to trim

Apollo

Jason Stanley
I have a 6BR with a max. case chamber length of 1.557. As of now, I am trimming to 1.555. 2 quick questions:

1. What would be the best trim length? (assuming there is one)
2. At what point in the reloading process do I trim? (after resizing or before)

Any help appreciated.

thank you
Stanley

Always trim after resizeing, cases grow mostly from being reduced in diameter.
The general rule of thumb is trim to 0.010" below max but, as long as the case neck isn`t being pinched by the lead you are short enough. Custom chambers allow for cutom brass.........
 
Thanks Joe. That was the information that I was looking for. I'll use your advice.
