I kinda doubt it was the measuring device. I say this because the Wilson trimmer was still setup for 1.910 and when I trimmed again a small amount of material was removed from the casings. Could it be temperature change? Could the chamfer and de-burr after the initial trimming somehow caused a burr on the case mouths? Could the brass spring back a little in length over time (a couple of days)?

Case Trimming Question
Have a question. Have an RCBS case trimmer which was not very repeatable, so I purchased an LE Wilson case trimmer. The LE Wilson is superb, I like it a lot! So I deprimed some 6.5 Creedmore, cleaned, tumbled, flash hole and primer pocket prepped, and then performed a full length resize ( for a MSR, not a bolt gun). All the normal stuff, then I trimmed the cases on the LE Wilson. They all measured exactly 1.910. I actually enjoy trimming cases with the LE Wilson. After trimming I then chamfered and deburred and then set aside. A couple of days later I measured the cases again. I just wanted to admire my handiwork again after using the Wilson trimmer. Darn it, those cases now measured 1.912 to 1.916. What is going on?
BTW, I did trim them back to 1.910, but have not chamfered or deburred again.
What am I doing incorrectly?
Thanks in advance!
