Necking Brass up that’s been necked down?

[zr600]

Ok I necked some 243 brass down to 22 and can’t use it in my chamber was wondering if I could neck it back to 243 to use as 243 again? Do you just run them through a regular 243 die or whatever the process for this?

I aneal and use a tapered expander plug, I'm always moving 204 Ruger brass up and down through 22-204, 6mm-204 and 25-204.

I just run them back through my Hornady 243 dies. I've actually gone from 6.8 to 6 MM and then in one pass move the mouth up to 308 but that was on OLD SSA stuff on stuff fired ten times and it was simply amazing. I don't recommend that as a normal practice BTW...lol

I have some Lapua 308 that I necked down to 260. If they don't sell,I plan one bringing them back to 308.

Oh the power of annealing. It's important in these cases.
