    Better results if you run it through a 7mm08 or 260 Rem die first.

    Shoulder to neck angle on the 243 is pretty steep compared to the 308 so I would also anneal the brass first.

    As mentioned, necks may come out a bit thick, but might be OK in a factory chamber.

    Not worth the effort considering how plentiful 243 brass is.
