[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3788721, member: 41653"] I'm going to be the contrarian here because, well, it's my nature. If I'm shooting casual, just banging away at a series of dirt clods and whatnot, I don't bother trying to get precision out of my handgun rounds. Which means; I don't load using precision methods. Which means; I don't bother trimming. I do, always, sort headstamps. If I'm loading up max loads in any straight-walled cartridge for handguns, I start by taking my headstamp-sorted brass, and trimming it all to the same length. 38 Spl, 357 Mag, 41 and 44 Mag. All of them. That way I get a consistent crimp. Most folks don't trim straight wall brass. I do. You can make up your own mind. [/QUOTE]
