[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 711974, member: 15748"] Arrow, No problem at all, and the .020" short won't hurt a thing. The thing to be aware of when you're reforming cases is neck thickness, not length. This is especially true when necking down, as you're doing here. Check the neck wall thickness with a tubing mic, and the diameter of the neck of a loaded round to ensure that they aren't too far off from a standard (factory) 243 Win case. You might also want to consdier a chamber cast, just so you'll know exactly what the neck dimension is in your chamber. You'll want at least .002" clearance (.001" per side) to avoid any nasty surprises here. [/QUOTE]
