Somewhere I thought I read that case length consistency was key. I'm just trying to determine what I should trim to since new cases don't start out at max length.I can tell you I took about .1" off my average group size when I started trimming vs just rolling with it. It's not a lot but it's more than nothing
To be blunt, I use Lee hand trimming tools and have less than no idea what length I'm trimming to, just that all my cases of a given batch are done identicallySomewhere I thought I read that case length consistency was key.

will case length variations of up to say .010" either way put all bullets on a 6inch plate at 300 yards?unless you are going for maximum accuracy you are overthinking again. for most of us if we can keep it on a 5 or 6 inch plate at 300 yds we are good to go
That particular factor,I believe, is going to be the least important detail to achieving a 2 moa groupwill case length variations of up to say .010" either way put all bullets on a 6inch plate at 300 yards?
What Ive been doing is only trimming if the case exceeds maximum, but otherwise not paying attention to case length. My last ladder test gave a group of about 1.1" so I was just curious if I could improve.To be blunt, I use Lee hand trimming tools and have less than no idea what length I'm trimming to, just that all my cases of a given batch are done identically
What if I wanted to achieve a 1moa goal?That particular factor,I believe, is going to be the least important detail to achieving a 2 moa group
If they are new, and less than maximum length just bevel & chamfer and load.I'm just trying to determine what I should trim to since new cases don't start out at max length.

My opinion is your powder charge and seating depth will play a more significant role than trimmed case length. Then there's the question of improving the Indian or improving the arrow. Perhaps you already have a .75moa load and just don't know itWhat if I wanted to achieve a 1moa goal?
Ditto this - and I'll add consistent seating of the bullet with as little distortion as possible.My opinion is your powder charge and seating depth will play a more significant role than trimmed case length.
You might be surprised to see they are very close in accuracy.

This ^^ is why I'll never have great accuracy!Measure, trim, load and shoot. The best accuracy comes from a great shooter.
