No. And I would not want to seat the bullet back any farther than I had to anyway if I had to do any trimming on brass to meet the requirements.

But for those contemplating a .35 Remington repeater, that is a much cheaper cannelure tool than the Corbin that would allow original overall length while allowing the bullet to be crimped so it doesn't creep in the magazine tube.

The 35 rem cut to 1.800 shoots fine. My groups run approx 1.5" @ 100. The 45-70 cut to 1.8" groups at 1" @ 100. the 45-70 cut to 1.625" groups at 2" with occasional flyers to 3" @ 100. The 1.625" have killed three deer. two never took a step, the third ran 75 yds shot through the heart at 75 yds. The 45-70 has a tapered case so it works best if you neck size with a 45 acp die to securely hold the bullet. You have to grind .480" off the crimp die to crimp the shortened case. The 350g bullet with two canalures works best in the short cases to increase case capacity. Fast rifle powders work better that pistol powders.

Used the lee factory crimp die.
