[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2319687, member: 101791"] I believe you have a problem. 1. A 243 is a short action and 25/06 is a long action. The cases are different lengths. If you were loading for 25/06, 270, 7mm, 30/06 and all were AI chamber it would work, but you would have to reset the die each time when changing to a different caliber. Unless you use just standard case lengths and not setting up to bump the shoulder back a couple of thousands per caliber and chamber. I feel that each different chamber besides caliber there would be different length to the shoulder. So I don't think it will work. I had give a lot of thought on LF sizing dies, and determine I would be far better off to have a LF bushing die for each chamber and caliber. I load for 2-220 swifts, 4 25/06s, will be for a 280AI/6mm, 3, 208 Noma Mag's, 3, 338 W Mags I don't want to set up each time to bump the shoulder back. I have just order out crimping dies for each caliber. Hope I can use the crimping tool on the different crimping cases. I haven't used crimping dies before, so I have to figure that out.
