[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1189723, member: 24284"] .22-.243 Brass is readily available, necks down in one pass, doesn't need fire formed, dies are easy to aquire, a simple, simple wildcat. Any that you mention are at their best with heavy for caliber bullets. For any, I'd load some dummies with the brass I was going to use and verify neck diameter of the chosen reamer. The throat needs to be right, too. I've fixed several (.22-.243), here locally, that gave premature pressure by setting back 1/2 turn and setting head space with my reamer. Tight chambers are desireable until you can't get to desired velocity without excess pressure. Run any that you mention 'hard' with Hornaday/Winchester/Remington brass and primer pockets will be loose in 2-4 loadings. [/QUOTE]
