What if you were doing 2-3 different cartridges?

Have been shooting only 223 for 3 years in an informal short bench league. My loads fall in the middle to upper 3/4 of the charge data and have found my brass grows very little. I have been running my brass between 2.255" to 2.260" and have seen no difference in performance. I check brass before each loading and do not size until it gets to that 2.260+" then it gets trimmed back to the 2.255"

I think that if you're letting your brass get as long as 2.260", you're letting it get about a half inch too long. jd

Senior moment. should have been 1.755" to 1.760". the 2.260" doesn't even compute for OAL as I am loading way much longer than that.

If they are the same caliber (say 264) giraud will be pretty quick to change.

Either way i would recommend caliber specific cutters for giraud. Henderson you need to purchase one for each caliber.
