trim length

How much would inconsistent trimming effect accuracy?

I have been using Fireball brass to make my whisper brass.
I don't think all my brass made it to the trimmer.
Could this be the source of my accuracy issues?
Wouldn't this show up at the chronograph?

Possible...

Are you crimping with a roll or taper crimp? If so, the inconsistent trim length would result in inconsistent neck tensions and pressures. This type of variation would definitely show up with a chrony.

Otherwise, with no crimp minor variations in length wouldn't affect much.

What is your load combination?

No crimp.

Multiple loads,
The first round through the barrel is always slower, so I do multiple SD calculations, dropping the first shot for warm barrel.

Slow

240, SMK, w296, 9.5gr, Russian, 942FPS (new lot w296, with suppressor, cold barrel, cold barrel SD22.5, warm barrel SD6)
