I just sized a hornady 7mm-08 brass while resizing my hornady 243 brass and didn't hardly notice any difference needed in force to accomplish it.
I think I would have even loaded it up and shot it if I hadn't looked one more time before putting it with my 243 ready to load up brass. Heck I even measure headspacing and overall length of each brass and it was the same. The only reason I noticed was seeing the 7mm-08 on the bottom.
It ended up there, because when I go to the range I usually find various amounts of once fired brass and bring them home and tumble them all together with my own. But I always inspect and separate afterwards.
Wow not sure what would have happened if I had loaded and fired it, probably would have been fine, but??.
So if anyone loads for 243, be careful of stray 7mm-08 getting in.
