Hey all, I am going to switch a 223 barrel I have to a 22-243 of some sort.  I know that there are several variations of the 22-243.  Which one would you choose and why?  I really don't want to do PITA fire forming.  Thanks guys.

If you don't want to do any fireforming, then simply have it chambered to the 22-243 with no changes in body taper or shoulder degree. All it will take is a quick pass to size the neck and possibly a little trimming.
Give Fred Zeglin a call, he now owns 4-D products, www.4-dproducts.com/
He is bound to have exactly what you are looking for in the way of the reamer and he can make you the custom dies as well.
