I have heard that the brass for the leverevolution FTX is longer then regular 30-30 brass because of the bullet?? is this true for the monoflex or is it shorter?? as compared to the lyman's 49th reloading book my empty 30-30 cases are approx 5 thou shorter (these are no resized)
Just wanted to know because i'm looking to reload for my 30-30 now, and just want to be on the safe side. Probably going to be loading a different bullet then the monoflex.
 
so i wouldn't be able to reload it with a different type of bullet, if i wanna reload these i would have to use the monoflex bullet only?
 
I think originally there was a typo somewhere.. I personally do not pay to much attention to brass length since I am not a target shooter. Get some other bullets and try them with the shorter case...you may be surprised. With questions like this I miss Sunray :)

Typo maybe?Yes, I think it was a typo.
Hornady # 6 manual lists the SAAMI standard:
Max = 2.039".
Trim = 2.029".

The shorter 2.019" trim length for the longer FTX spitzer bullet is to keep the OAL under SAAMI max of 2.550" so they will work through a lever-action magazine.

brass length has nothing to do with accuracy. Over-length brass will cause spikes in chamber pressure

As in I don't care if they are all the same length. I use my Lee cutter, if I cut great if I don't great.

I know how anal target shooters can get about everything being the same round to round.

Load her up and shoot, brass at 2.019, still load her up and shoot
 
The important length is the Max Trim Length. You shouldn't exceed that, but you can go shorter, for example when using bullets with a long ogive, so that when seated the neck grips only to straight portion of the bullet. The idea behind consistent brass OAL is to provide consistent "pull" on the bullet for best accuracy. In reality no-one can prove any differences in accuracy in necks that vary by even 20-30 thou but it makes the crowd that weighs powder to 0.05 grs and even weighs primers feel better.
