Have 100 WW .250 cases that I have uniformed and deburred. Does it make any diferrence if I trim back all cases now aor after I fireform the .250 AI.

If it was me I would reload to factory lengths, then fireform them and then recheck the oal. towards the imp. length. :D    JIM

I agree in this case. With some AI rounds, the case length is slightly shorter than the parent case. Usually requiring, before and after trimming.

I agree. After fireforming you will end up with a shorter case.
