Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Sig 243Win Brass

Found a good price on Sig brass and decided to order 200 for the 243 and quit reloading mixed headstamp. I weighed all 200, more than 90% are +‐ 0.7gr of 165gr and all were within 2.4gr (all but 1 were within 2.0gr). All lengths were within .002 and neck thickness was .015 and consistent to +‐ .001. Primer pockets were excellent, but flash holes did need trimmed for internal burrs. Based on weights with other brands I had on hand it was 10% heavier than Hornady, 5% heavier than Winchester and 5% lighter than Federal. Haven't gotten it loaded yet so no usage report but initial inspection looks very good.

You'll like it. I use Sig brass in my 22-250 and 308w. I was thinking the other day, that if I knew where to find some for my new 243, I'd snag it. I ended up buying enough new Hornady and 200 pcs of once fired stuff. You'll like that Sig brass though. It's very concentric as well. Great for loading straight ammo.
