I've checked on Trigger Mountain for a week or so (plus here in the Classifieds) for .243 Winchester brass.

No far I haven't seen any being offered up.

So if anybody comes across a thread mentioning some .243 on any of the gun forums you check in with, please let me know. I'd prefer trade but would consider buying also.

Of course, I'll keep on checking TMA for some that somebody might be selling.

Thanks for looking!

Two Shot,

Thanks for the nice offer!~

Does that brass need to have the case necks turned?

I've bought some Speer 90-gr FMJs for just casual plinking, so mixed brass would be OK with me! :)

Dont think so,as i have fired then thru my .243.
I have 49 of them,
Also have a few with bullets in them,, BUT you will have to pull bullets ,dump powder. I am not sure what they are,, neighbor had them in garage sale and gave them to me.:coolgleamA:

Every rifle chamber is different, so you'd want to be absolutely sure yours doesn't require neck turning/reaming before you use necked-down .308 brass. My brother's .243 required him to turn the necks as necking them down from .308 thickens them somewhat. I've not had any issues necking down .308 to 7mm-08, though.

Thanks, DH...

I'd really appreciate any that you feel you can part with.

I found a great deal on these bullets for $11.95/100 so I bought a few boxes just to horse around with.

What can I do for you in return?
