What I was thinking is to get a sizing die for .243 caliber and using a 17/64 high speed steel drill bit, some honing oil and drill press set to run slow to bring it to .2656 for my 6.5 (.264). Then polish it with some 500 grit abrasive paper. Since the pills drop at .266 it should be doable.
In the video he's taking off .002, I'd be taking off .023, and I'd be concerned with the uniformity of my hand honing.
Just did a check and nobody has the complete custom breechlock sizing kits in stock. Some say no back order. So it looks like getting a 243 sizing die and either drilling or honing to 265. Gonna have to figure out which way to go.
