Trim to length question

I am shooting a Savage Model 12 .223 Rem and just started to reload for it. I just resized my brass (loaded Federal brass, once fired through my gun) and every piece of brass is very short. According to my reloading manual, the trim to for the .223 is 1.750". My brass, after being fired once and resizing, is in between, 1.550 and 1.60. I got great accuracy when the bullet was loaded from the factory, usual groups were well under an inch at 100 yards. Will this cause any problems with my reloading and why did the factory trim the brass so short? Thanks in advance for the replies.
