anyone shooting a 243 lbc? If so what dies are you guys using to resize and seat? I ordered a black hole weaponry, or Columbia something, 24 inch barrel in 243 lbc. I didn’t look into dies before I ordered the barrel. I figured someone was mass producing dies for this round but I can’t seem to find any. Thanks

A failure to plan is a plan for failure.
Is not the 243 LBC a 6.5 Grendel necked down to 6mm?
If so, an alternative solution is to use an off-the-shelf 6.5 Grendel bushing FL die with the appropriate 6mm bushing. You can make the seater by replacing the 6.5mm sleeve in a Competition seating die with a 6 mm.
I do this in the opposite direction to make 30 Major (30 Grendel) dies and 7x47 Lapua dies.
