[QUOTE="Johnboy, post: 413794, member: 20409"] hey I am just stabbing in the dark here.but to me I would think necking up the 243 Lapua brass would give you a less of a problem than necking down 308 brass.necking down the 308 brass will give you alot more brass to cut down for an over all case length and then you will have to trim the necks down because of the brass in the neck area will be from the shoulder area of the 308 brass.meaning to thick for a tight chamber for a match chamber.but with the 243 brass you will only be sizeing the brass up .5mm(.021) more than the 6mm 243 bullet.which is .021 difference from the two.kind of like the same as 7/08-308.and this I have done with no problem many times. but hey I do not match shoot.just seems more of a chance to have problems when sizeing down.did it one time when resizeing for a 22-250 with 243 brass.and I had to thick of a neck area when I went to chamber the brass empty it still would not chamber.(too thick)was told that I would have to trim the necks down to be able to allow for the neck to expand in the chamber and not cause alot of pressure while fired.(hint blow up)so I turned away from the 243 brass and just bought some 22-250 brass. but will also say that I think alot of the rem brass.have never had the type of problems you read about the other guys have had.maybe I am just lucky or something.but really like the remington brass.always order my brass from Midway and have yet had a bad batch from them.would try winchester brass but read alot that guys have been haveing to send it back to winshester.mostly from off centered fash holes or the cases looked like they have been in a 3 year loads hands.even to add I do not weigh my brass.think its to much of a mind thing for me to do it.think the weight difference is all in the case head.so I just do not weigh my brass.but hey this is all based on my opinionso take it with a grain of salt.just thought that I would give out my .02 cents worth.hope was able to help or try to help.
