Nosler specs in the E-manual shows the case length at 2.590", so that is where I would start.

Thanks for that, so I can assume the trim - to length should then be 2.580 "
Here is the reason for my concern, I opened a new box of 28 Nosler brass 25 ct and am surprised at the varying case length.
The cases in question vary from 2.559 " to 2.598 " which to me seems significant.
Also over half a dozen had very bent case necks requiring neck sizing to straighten out.
Bear in mind that this is brass advertised as " ready to load ".
Now in order to make it ready to load it needs to be sized and then trimmed to a uniform length otherwise I'm wasting time and components to develop loads.
Considering the fact that I have paid over $ 4 CAD per case I'm a bit disappointed.
