[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1017735, member: 77249"] I have made 243 Win. Brass out of 308 Win. years ago. It does make the neck thick. I would suggest use an outside neck turner. It makes the neck thickness uniform all around the neck. You also have a tool that by changing the mandrel you can use it on other caliber of cases. If you have a 308 Win. also I would suggest NOT doing it. I quit necking down 308 Win. to 243 Win. and junked the converted brass I had. When a 308 Win. rifle joined my stable as a work rifle, (Wildlife Officers Carry Rifle) I quit, 308 Win. head stamp became to important to me selecting the right ammo to carry in my job. [/QUOTE]
