you can use it , you might have to neck turn it if it is real thick but it works

Jim,

If you full length size...and then trim to 2.875...chances are it will shrink upon firing.

Shooting unsized fire formed brass...typically doesn't not change length

Trading it would be best failing that,I certainly would not trim shorter than 2.89". It is easy to cut it off not so easy to put it on. you can allways trim again after fire forming .If the neck is thicker save it for your patch to bore ppb's. It would be cheaper than having to buy thickwall brass down the line for ppb use. 3.25" cases are 3.5 bucks ea and new Norma 2.9" at a $1.80 ea it's easy to see why you don't need to make any wrong moves here.
