[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 611373, member: 14209"] I actually use .308 Lake City and Lake City Match brass to make my .243 Ackley Brass. I traded into it and it was just a Ruger M77 MKII that the proir Owner had accurized and then set back the bbl and cut a new chamber and gave it a target crown. I had a problem splitting shoulders with factory .243 Brass, so I turned to making the brass out of the Military stuff. It has worked out great, Necking down in steps and then turning the necks and fireforming. They last a long time and I'm getting great accuracy from them. I did start my loading using quickload data, but found quite quickly that I couldn't approach the max charges due to the thicker brass, I was able to get the velocity with a lighter charge. If you are going to use them in a .308 for handloading, just be sure to work up and they'll shoot just fine. Dan [/QUOTE]
