What is the body die used for? Never had one before i guess. Is it just the die without the decapping rod? Sorry if a stupid question.

I believe it only sizes the body of the case and doesn't touch the neck! I never used these. Got em at a yard sale thinking I would eventually build a 243 ai and just don't see it happening g any time soon!

No big deal. I would still be interested in the brass anyway because i can just neck it down.

Farmer,
Your best bet for dies is to call a manufacturer and ask them if they have them on hand. I do know that Redding and RCBS both list them.
I went through this when I built my 6.5-06AI and The prices were High, around $150 either manufacturer.
I ended up going with RCBS, not because they were better, but because they actually had a set on hand. Redding more often than not has to make them and there is a significant wait time.
As far as brass goes. Not sure you can just neck down the .243AI brass (I have one of them too). shoulder placement might be an issue as well espcecially at the shoulder neck juncture. Might not be able to chamber properly, and head space might be an issue. you would just have to give it a try i guess.

Thank you very much for the info sir! Ya i figured id have to pay a pretty penny for dies. Just thought it was worth a shot to find a used set somewhere that wasnt being used. Ya i never thought about those issues with the 243ai brass.

I have had 3 of them already and have two at the moment. They are a sweet caliber but not a 22-243ai, it is a whole different animal.
