Setting up for the .243 rem

[whbonney26]

I ordered me a Redding T-7 and also ordered a set of Redding .243 dies. I ordered the 3 die set with the Full Length Sizing die, Seating Die and Neck Sizing Die.

I so far I have only loaded .45 Colt and .38 Spl on my Dillon 650 so I have no experience with loading rifle cartridges.

My questions are as follows;

What is the proper way to set up the Full Length and neck Sizing dies?

I am just not sure how to adjust to get the proper sizing and make sure my cases are correct.

I looked for videos online but could not find any. Any help in the proper steps to making sure I load .243 cartridges the proper way would be greatly appreciated.

You can call Sinclair 800-717-8211 and talk to one of the techs about what you need. The headspace bump gauge they sell is very helpful as you can measure how much you resize when setting up your dies. Good luck.

RCBS makes a .243 Win. Mic set for checking head space, bullet seating and setting up dies that is handy, they do tend to be costly, but if you shop around shooting Forums, ebay and GunBroker you may find one fairly priced.
