[QUOTE="foreign, post: 277162, member: 11896"] i had an epiphany the other day and am sure that im not the first to have it. wanting to know if anyone has dont this yet and thoughts and results. so my epiphany was to take brass that was for a caliber bigger that mine. eg .243 or my .308 and size it in the die for the caliber i want. this should make the thickness of the neck more than it would normally be. should also make them longer. then i can neck trim to get the necks down to a thickness i want, which will give me the tension i want and the tension should be completly even since the whole neck will be even. i can also then trim the cases to a length of .010 shorter than my chamber. i guess i could use .308 brass for the .243 and something like.270 for the .308. not to sure if that thought process of mine will make sence how ive writen it. but any thought?lightbulb [/QUOTE]
