Thanks for the input, guys. As usual, some good suggestions.
In fact I'm going to start neck sizing for my 243 now, and use Joe's recommendation regarding the shoulder bump-
I will fire a set of new or fl sized cartridges, then adjust my sizing die to just barely make contact with the shoulder and deprime. It will be interesting to see how this initially affects impact point, velocity and accuracy. More fun and games at the bench and range! Strange, but its getting to where I don't even care to shoot factory ammo very much anymore. Its like "anyone can go out and do that". From a personal time standpoint though, I wouldn't mind it if I had someone to man the reloading bench and do exactly what I tell them to do.
I will report my results on the 243 which is already shooting .8 - 2" groups @300. Then on to my new "big" 7!
