I think its going to depend what loads and wads people are using if the length off matters. I think most of the 8 gauge guys are using SP-8 wads. I know with the 1 3/4oz loads I loaded using SP-8 wads I could lop 1/4" off the hulls and still have room, by removing the 1/4" filler wad. Using fiber wads on the other hand you can pretty much configure the stack height to work with a wide variety of hull length and shot weight. So cutting 3/16" off the end wouldn't necessarily ruin the hulls but I think its going to depend on what specific loads 8 gauge guys are shooting.
