help with trimmed brass

[jsmith15]

I accidentally trimmed several pieces of 22-250 to 1.895. Can I still load this and maybe shoot a lighter load, or scrap the brass?

Whats the trim to length ?

looks like trim to length is 1.902, to 1.912 ..... you are a little on the short side of things but it shouldnt matter. I wouldnt include those is anything shot for groups .... maybe to foul the barrel ... but you are .005 short .....aint gonna kill ya ..... If it were me id set my trimmer to get them as close to .902 and then just live with a .003 variance

I was also concerned about pressure.

You may experience some hot gas escaping toward you "blow by" due to poor chamber seal. It should be covered in most manuals.

You might try running it back through the sizer die. Sometimes a trimmer if it's dull can flatten the brass instead of cutting it. There may be enough there to get you back to min spec. You probably won't even notice it though.
