What is .243 Brass Good For

[Frankr]

I have a 100 new Lapua .243 cases on hand and I don't have a .243
It has been on my mind for awhile but so far the Norma 6XC brass has been good to excellent.
I am a Lapua brass fan. so I finally got around to running one in a 6XC FL die just ran it right in there kind of like the SLR guy's do. It will need expander ironed,neck turned,trimed and annealed.
I wonder if it might be better than the Norma brass well anyhow I could use some new XC brass and money is tight and I do have these .243 cases might as well put them to good use.

WHAT???? The horrors of it all. A drawing and quartering offence to be sure.
However, if some one threw them away, ya may wanna mic the bases, jic.
We're doing the same thing with some Palma brass looking to hit the next node w/o wrecking the brass. Using an extra long neck for more bullet length options as well as keeping the convergence point outta da throat.

I knew the shooter, talked with him later. It had over 10 firings on it and was starting to have case head separations.
