You actually have to do two steps, resize with Grendel dies, then resize the neck with PPC dies. There isn't a single step process die out there yet that I am aware of.
I think its a little funny that some of these guys are calling it a .243 LBC. They simply don't have the gumption to actually pay for the right way to do something and they want to distract from someone who has actually done the work and had proper dies made!
A gentleman name Robert Whitley came up with the cartridge years ago. Its called the 6mm AR, and he also developed a 6mmAR Turbo, with a different shoulder and shoulder angle. You CAN buy dies for the cartridge from him and learn a lot more about it on his site:

The .243 LBC is simply a rip off of his work, much like the .264 LBC, 6.5 CSS, 6.5 SAOD etc. are rip offs of Bill Alexanders work. People will say that they aren't, but if not, where is the 6.5 CSS ammo, or the 6.5 SAOD ammo? Yes, there is some .264 LBC ammo, one loading, available from ONE place. Where are the mags these guys developed for their "cartridges"?
Sorry, but I'm tired and and I'm more tired of people who steal ideas from others and then act like its new!
+1 well said bill
