I'm thinking of a 20-24" BHW barrel, probably standard profile as I'd like to keep the rifle ~10 lb or so, not committed on a barrel length yet but will probably start longer and can always shorten in my lathe if needed. Suggestions there are welcome. Looks like I can use 6 PPC dies backed off. Suggestions on brass sources? I know Lapua is best quality but $$; I don't mind neck turning but don't want to waste components on soft brass like I've encountered with some Nosler 6.8.
Suggestions from others using this round are welcome too.
Thanks!

Sorry for hijacking this thread and bringing it back from the dead. I have recently been really interested in the 243 lbc round. I have been able to locate barrels for my build but I have not been able to locate a source for dies. I'd like to get the dies before I start my build. Can anyone point me in right direction?
You can use 6mm PPC dies, which is what I'm doing. Lots of options out there.
I ended up going with a 24" 243 LBC barrel direct from BHW (Columbia River Arms) and would do it again, I'm happy with it.

Isnt the 6mm PPC shorter then the 243 LBC ? How does 6mm PPC die work for a 243 LBC? Sorry for asking I'm a noob at reloading.

Yes, he is. :chuckle:
He'll be back around May but I'm still in contact with him if you need to get a hold of him.

Yes, it's ~ .070" shorter. You have to set the dies accordingly.
Honestly if you're still new to reloading, a wildcat like this is probably not a good idea for you. Start off with a common cartridge that has a lot of info available to help you. I could never recommend someone learn reloading on a wildcat with very minimal load data available, you really need some more experience under your belt to get everything right and do it safely.

It is weird though, there's one particular member who always seems to pop up any time Biggerhammer posts or gets mentioned, and that member's been absent in this thread so far. He must be busy lingering/trolling somebody else until Biggerhammer and Jay.sharkbait come back........ :stirthepot:

Is it just me or does BHammer and Sharky both get timeouts alot. Sadly too I enjoy pestering them with nooby questions.
I think maybe they're actually running off together to do top secret operational internet operator stuff. Or maybe they're actually the same person with multiple profiles. Or maybe I'm actually Biggerhammer, Jay.Sharkbait AND JDhasty and I just post under multiple online personalities to make up for my boring and unfulfilling home life. :tinfoil:
Hopefully everyone is learning to play nice and stay completely clear of each other.
I can say with absolute certainty that at least one of them has learned absolutely NOTHING. :chuckle: I won't speak for the other one, but I'm pretty confident I know the answer there as well.

I know it hasn't effected his shooting or building to much , being timed out is just a few extra minutes to make his stalker wonder if he's cheating on him or not ! Deer season was good , I was next to BH when he took a deer at 847 so I don't think his feelings are hurt to much !
Long live the Volley Fire Brigade!!!! Was it done with 6.5 Grendel loaded with at least a 30 round mag? :chuckle:
