[QUOTE="DocDoc, post: 899773, member: 69144"] The response: As a general rule, a "Type S" Bushing Die can be used to size cases that are 1 caliber larger and/or 1 caliber smaller than the cartridge that the Die is designed for, provided that the cartridges are otherwise alike (diameters, shoulder positions, shoulder angle, etc.). I take that to mean that Type S for .243 could be used for .22 or .257 with the appropriate inserts, but not for what I thought might work. In any case look at the SAAMI specs in a manual to see that dimensions work for your case. I just ordered the F/L for .243. I will need to order a second when/if I move up to .260 Rem or 7mm-08.
