Hey Everyone,
I started tinkering with my first "wildcats" this year. I am having a ball. So much to learn and try.
I have two cartridges for my AR's based on 6.5 Grendel necked down to .224 and .243 and started thinking about a bolt gun project. I was considering having a .243 LBC barrel made for a bolt gun. Then I started looking at some other options. I looked at the 6 mm Creedmoor and saw a comparison with the .243 Winchester. Then I came across the .22-243.....
Down the rabbit hole I went.............
I see folks necking .308 brass down to .243 and .243 brass to .224. what sort of issues would you likely run into if you took .308 brass down to .224?
I use a 6.5 Grendel ,Redding S type bushing die to form my brass using successively smaller bushings to achieve the desired neck diameter.
Would it be reasonable to do the same thing with a similar die in .308 to form .243 and .224 neck cases?
What do you all think?
