Hirtenberger is Austrian not Dutch. Not that it really matters. Bend a paper clip into a feeler to see if the ring goes all the way through.
That .243 die is wrong too. A .243 sizer die is not used on a .308/7.62NATO case. The .243 is a tick longer than .308 too. 2.045" vs 2.015".
Spelling and grammar count!

As an old reloaded who has converted many cases, why are you taking a risk with cheap brass as opposed to losing a valuable body part? If my die won't accept the case I scrap it immediately and don't risk using it. My dies are Redding and I use a headspace gauge to set my dies. Did you set the headspace according to book, check the neck for acceptable wall thickness, did a case run out, weight check for uniformity after resizing, anneal the neck to acceptable protocol? There is more to it then just converting from one case to another. For example, a commercial 30/06 can be used for 25/06 or 8/mm, not the Jap 7.7.

My information comes directly from General Hatcher's notebook. Just because you can doesn't mean that you should. I have seen too many guys push the envelope just to buy the farm. I am fighting cancer and winning, won't take on anything that might upset my apple cart. I wish you luck and God's speed with your endeavor.
