243 ai noob question

[Mthomas90]

I just recently acquired a 243ai barrel. I have had a set of rcbs dies for a while but have a bushing die and micrometer seater die for 243 win. My question is if my micrometer 243 win seater die would work to seat bullets in the 243ai formed brass?

Thanks,
Michael

That's how I would do it!

I have a 30-06AI. I use a die set for a standard 30-06. The only difference is that I only neck size. So far so good.

And get a Lee collet die for neck sizing only. You may need to get a body die down the road but won't need it right away.

I wasn't remembering right on my used 243ai dies, they are Redding neck sizing dies.
My worry now is after chambering a handful of the fire formed brass from that chamber, is that I may have set it a little tight because the bolt wouldn't close on a few of them.
I guess I'll need a body die right away.
