[MrChris]

Looking for some .243 brass and projectiles. I have cash or powder to trade.

It may not really help but did you know that you can make 243 brass from 308?

No I didn't. I will look into it. Thanks for the heads up.

and 7MM-08 and .270 and the extractor groove in 30-06 is a bit narrower than the above cases but could also be done.

I have made .308 from all the above and even used 338 Federal cases. Annealing will be your friend here when pulling a .270 or 30-06 into a short case like a .243.
Neck turning may also need to be done.
Sears supply sometimes has projectiles.
I got some 2 weeks ago.

I had to neck turn my Lapua .243 cases for a .243 Mossberg I own as it has a very tight chamber.
My winchester .243 cases measure .243" ID after firing.
Lapua cases shot horribly in that rifle so I neck turned them and they shot excellent.

Horribly = 3MOA
Excellent = Sub MOA

Yep. I aneal in a dish of water (up to where I want it to stop). Form in a full length die via many small bumps use a really thin coat of imperial lube making sure i rub the neck each pass into the die. I then do a really quick re-aneal to relieve any internal stress and trim to length

American reloading has a lot of different .243 bullet pulls for next to nothing last I checked. They ship fast too.
They go fast sometimes in other calibers. just checked 2 types left.

I have the forming die to make them. I'm not making them anymore so I'd consider selling it. If anybody is interested PM me. I'm not putting a for sale ad up.
