.308 Win brass from .243 win brass ?????
« on: February 11, 2006, 05:37:26 PM »
Is it possible to do this? I think that the necks might get kind of thin. I have lots of .243 brass and a very small amount of .308, I was wanting to size the .243 up if its possible. Thanks for the help.

I woudn't do it - .308 brass is cheap and plentiful.  Why end up with improperly headstamped brass that might end up in the wrong kind of gun?  Its like begging Murphy to come into your life.
