[QUOTE="budlight, post: 991648, member: 2939"] Somebody gave me a bunch of used and loaded 243 brass from their elderly relative. They would not fit in either of my Rem new 700's. They had a couple of problems that even full length resizing did not fix. At first I thought on trimming to case length and they were all indeed all way over length. Like the person never trimmed the cases. So I loaded a couple and still did not fit. I looked at them and started measuring everything. Apparently 243 is one of the cases know to flow brass forward into the neck. So the whole problem was solved by neck turning all the brass. What ever gun they were shot in was done with a larger reamer or many 1000's of rounds had enlarged the bullet area before the barrel throat [/QUOTE]
