Glad to see my post has garnered some responses; I still stand behind it.
Published data including trim lengths are something to follow, especially when one is a novice and just starting out. No one mentioned that so I did.

just because a bullet has a cannelure does not mean that the case has to be crimped into it. that bullet could easily have many applications, not just the one you are using it for.
if you are determining your overall length based on where a cannelure is located, reloading may not be for you.

i believe you started your incorrect post by stating that everyone else is wrong.
you jumped in proclaiming everyone was wrong, and then proceeded to step in it big time.

Ok.......new 223 brass can measure anywhere from 1.750" to 1.760". Depends on the headstamp, and variation from lot to lot. Don't worry about what the reloading manuals say. Your brass is what it is and it'll be fine. And don't be messing with "trim to" length either.
