    Title says it all, I sold my 243 and picked up a 6 Creed and now have quite a bit of 243 brass and a growing number of 6 Creed brass. Is is possible / worth it to resize from 243 to 6 Creed? If anyone has done it, I'd love to hear what you've done to make it work. I assume I would need to at...

    Full-length resizing or neck only?

    Sorry, but I'm full of questions on reloading...but you guys have really given me some great insight! For match chamber bolt guns (and keeping the brass separate for each). Do you like to full length resize or just neck size your brass? I'm FL sizing for my autos. This is primarily for .308...

    Reddings new case resizing die G-Rx

    Check this out. From the article is seems only 40 s&w is the only caliber but if they release one for 9mm I am sure I will get one. The die resizes the full length of the brass to take out the bulge of fired brass. Redding G-Rx Die

    Lube the inside of case necks when resizing?

    I've got a friend who has been reloading for 15 years, and he does not. I have been, but it is a PITA because it adds time. What say you?
