243 Win Brass

[CrippledEagle]

Anyone need 243 brass? Lots of cartridges can be formed from 243, including 6.5 Creedmoor, etc.

50 Remington headstamp
50 Winchester "
21 Sako "

All once-fired, clean but not polished. I can fit it all in a $10.20 small Priority Mail box, so how about $30 SHIPPED for the lot.
That's 16 cents each. Ammoseek best price 60 cents PLUS shipping. Hope someone can use this.

260 Remington could be formed from 243 Win. Not 6.5 CM.

Steps:
1) Trim the factory .243 neck on a trimmer down to 1.940". This sets the case length on the finished case exactly at the Creedmoor length of 1.920" once all is said and done. You have to do this step or you won't be able to process the brass into the Creedmoor die as it will just smash the neck into the top of the die.

2) Chamfer and deburr the case neck opening.

3) Lube the wall of the case with Imperial Sizing Wax. I stopped lubing the neck/shoulder altogether because I was getting small wrinkles in the shoulder in the next step even with almost no lube. As the shoulder moves down the case it will get lubed from the lube applied to the wall.

4) Run the brass into the modified .243 Full-length die that is adjusted to set the shoulder to the Creedmoor dimension.

5) Run the brass into the factory Hornady full-length Creedmoor die. To me this is a step that has to be fine tuned with the rifle that is going to fire the cases. I adjust the die down little by little and resize a case until it will juuusssst allow the bolt to close with a slight drag. You want it just barely to touch the bolt face and the shoulder of the chamber. This way when you fire the cases it will set the shoulder perfectly to your chamber. This probably isn't critical since we all have no issue with firing factory brass that isn't that snug.

6) Load the brass and shoot it.

Rats! I've been busy the last two days dealing with snowmelt leaking into the basement- so as usual, a $ short and a day late.

both the 260 Rem & 6.5 Creedmoor can be formed from the 243 brass, it's just the 6.5 is a little more involved than just running the brass through a die with a tapered neck expander.
