[QUOTE="arrow, post: 711935, member: 9798"] I got rid of my .308 winchester and built a .243 winchester. I had a bunch of .308 brass laying around so figured I would make some .243 out of it. I ran them through the .243 die and out comes .243 winchester brass. I loaded them up to fireform and everything was fine except for the accuracy. I trimmed them all down so they would be the same length and square. The only problem is they are getting trimmed .020" shorter than I normally trim normal .243 winchester brass. Is this alright to shoot through my rifle? If not, I have already fired 30 rounds like this through, did I do any damage to my chamber? I have heard of people with the same problem turning 7 rm brass into .257 wby brass. Thanks [/QUOTE]
