Most of these plans entail a lot of work. If I've read your post right, the aim is to avoid pulling the heads and deactivating the remaining primed cases.
On the assumption the tight chambering is due to insufficient base resizing you've got 2 other options.
1. Depending on which dies you have ..... you can remove the nose punch assembly from the .243 seater die, and push the oversize .243 rounds in to
Maximum (i.e. 'bottoming' on the shellholder). This might just work, but as these are a few thousands over FLR die dimensions maybe it won't.
This is feasible with the seater die from a Lee Deluxe (the 3-die Collet NSZ set), but probably not on the one from Lee Pacesetter or Lyman die. With these the neck will probably contact the roll crimp collar before the base is resized down enough.
2. A better idea is to use a conventional .308 full-length resize die with the decapping pin & collar removed. On Redding and Lyman dies the whole assembly just screws out from the top of the die, but RCBS (not so well-designed IMO) have to be removed from the bottom of the die.
That's what I do. You'll need to borrow a .308 FLR die of course if you don't have one
