You are alright as short as 2.220" I have been shooting an 8x57 for a long time [several rifles, latest a 700 Remington "Classic"] Many factory cases are shorter than 2.230" when new. If you load to the potential of this very fine chambering, they will reach 2.230" in time. In the interim, just load up and shoot! Cases over 2.240" must be trimmed, of course. Regards, Eagleye
