Default Swap 243 for 308 brass

Is there anyone in Calgary willing to swap some 243 brass for 308 brass? Winchester preferred as I did load development with it. 20-40 pieces is all I'm after. My boy is just starting to shoot, I think the 50 or so pieces I have may not be enough between shot and loaded.

Thanks in advance.

simple fix would be neck it down or up which ever way you need to go, they are the same case, maybe you could anneal the necks to make it easier , if that does not float your boat contact me i have lots of 243/308 brass i will give you some

Young shooter, wrong head stamp, I can see why OP would prefer the right stamped brass. I don't have a need for 243 brass, already have a bunch. A bag of 100 Winchester is only about 60 bucks new. If you can't find any used or new or someone to trade, let me know by PM, I am sure I can find 30-50 WW brass for you.

A Big Thanks to 45/70/500 (Alan) for donating brass to our cause. With all the downs in the media, kindness of heart still prevails.

Thank you.
