Perhaps, pistol, cartridges or straight wall cartridges should be disregarded. But Rifle cartridges with a neck and shoulder will grow so unless it’s extremely short there is no need to throw them away.
This is just what I was looking for. Neither the Nosler or Lee Manuals list tolerances or minimums. So this was tripping me up because some of my cases were .020 lower than the max which I thought was a lot. And if seating a bullet too deep can cause unsafe pressure then surely a case too short would also cause unsafe pressure. That SAAMI website is fantastic. Thanks!
I trim my match cases short intentionally, I only have to trim every 3 loadings this way. My testing hasn't shown any degradation in accuracy and still plenty of neck tension.

You did that for pistol, but what about rifle brass, I shoot a vanguard 243 & have found some brass short?

Guys shooting the 450 Bushmaster may find this interesting.
Good stuff for inexperienced and maybe even some "experience" reloaders. Thank you
