I am buying a Manson off the shelf .243 Neck/throat reamer and he will use that to finish the chamber. Cheaper and allows a bit more flexibility on neck/throat dimensions....
Instead of partial solution, why not send 2-3 fired cases to a maker like John Whidden and have them make you a custom seating die, which matches your cartridge/chamber ? In the long run it would save you time and money. Just a thought.
