I know where there are three boxes of R-P Krag ammo. I know there are three because there used to be five boxes
Do I hear a bid for 100 dollars for release of the information to the secret location?

You can never go home again.
Brass "flows" forward when fired. Annealing keeps it from getting work hardened from resizing but they still will get thinner, that's why they must be checked for length on occasion. Light loads of course help slow this to a minimum.

Since this is the case, wouldn't the slight (0.1") shortage issue with .303 British brass eventually become almost moot?
Unfortunately, this "flow" on firing isn't really what happens. When fired (with good headspace and normal pressure), the case mostly expands outward to fill the chamber. This makes the diameter greater and actually decreases length. (Those in doubt need only measure cases before and after firing.) When a case is full-length sized, it gets pushed from the back end and squeezed around body and neck. Since metal displaced inward has to go somewhere and the only place not constrained by die and shellholder is forward, length then increases. If FL sizing weren't rather hard on our precious brass, this might be helpful for adding length - but it is, so we often size just the necks to enhance longevity.
When we neck size only, there's very little displacement of metal during sizing and length increase is minimal - not enough to add .1" during the normal life of a .303 or .30/40 case.

I use LEE Pacesetter dies, neck size only (die backed out one full turn), and I rarely have to trim! I gotta agree with Para.
