OK this is for the WSSM reloaders. I am down to 12 rounds of 243 WSSM brass. I have 12 rounds of 223 WSSM brass. I'm wondering if I can form the 223 to 243. Has any one here done this?

It's not too big of a stretch.

While I do not shoot WSSM rounds, I have formed .243 into .308. 6mm to 7.62 is a good jump and the neck got real thin. It lasted a couple reloads but that was it.

.224 to .243 isn't much of a jump. Keep an eye on neck splitting after one or two loads.

You have to go nice and slow, keep it well lubed so there is no metal to metal friction and you'll be fine.

Wow I can see why you want to make your own if possible.

Alright I was able to expand the 223 wssm to 243 wssm and only split one case. Now to see if I can make 270 wsm from 300 wsm brass.
