Now I am a little confused. What size would be 6mm Remington if 243 is 6mm?

For the .243 Win, .244 Rem, 6mm Rem, .243 WSSM but not the 6mm Lee Navy. The Lee Navy takes a .256" bullet.

Thanks. That's what I wanted to know. I am just starting to learn about reloading. All the components for reloading belonged to my grandfather. He mostly reloaded 30.06 and 12 gauge.
