    It looks like a 243 wssm upper is in my near future so what dies do you guys recommended, and if anyone has any tips or tricks for this caliber I would appreciate them.

    I have loaded for a bolt gun. I am no reloading expert but IME, this round will show pressure sign abruptly so be careful. I have had good success with IMR4350.
    Case life sucks too, I have had case splits in the bottleneck portion in new cases. Maybe a bad batch I don't now.

    I have an Oly upper with Krieger barrel on it. App. 1000 rounds thru it.
    5 or 6 mags that work.
    Dies.
    What's left of 1000 annealed Winchester cases.
    If interested in purchasing, pm me.
