No!
Have a look at the various pages on this site and note the case dimensions.

I have seen .308/7.62 cases resized to take .243 bullets, but that's the nearest I can get to your question.
To anyone who has been around rifles for any amount of time the Ejit comment is most appropriate.
I think it is fairly obvious to chappy that he has made a very shaky start into "The Black Art" JTO. 8)

Think about putting a separate post up in the reloading section asking for practical help. Make it clear where you live and some idea of your experience. And buy a few books on the subject. There's advice in other posts here on which ones are the best to get. Keep it simple and the basics are actually common sense and easy to follow. Good luck and keep asking questions, even daft ones

You don't need to apologise more than once for any thing you may or may not have done, once is enough, People in glass houses comes to mind buddy, I think we have all had our moneys worth out of your little indiscretion! Steve.

It is all good gamegunner in the sense that although you did ask a question which had people either thinking you were extracting some urine or were about to kill yourself the end result has been that you have the attention of all the very skilled people who post in this forum, plus myself. That can only be a good thing as you now have a lot of top quality info on tap for the asking and, as suggested, you should post any questions you might have.
I'm a beginner at this myself and so can remember how complicated it all seemed at the start and it is difficult to find your feet. It is also the case that things that one person finds simple might appear confusing to another until they take a little time to get it explained to them.
I am of the view that it is worth getting someone to show you the ropes and you might find a shooting friend or even the owner of a local gun shop willing to let you watch them reload while they explain the process. Even half an hour would be worth more than all the books. The process isn't too complex or difficult but it is very safety critical so you need to slow down a little and consider that even a small misunderstanding or mistake could cause death or injury. I'm like you and just love to forge ahead and get things done and get to see the end result but with the reloading it really is better to take it slow and easy. If you know you have the sort of nature that can make you very keen then you need to be doubly careful and make an extra effort to slow down, check the facts and ensure you load good, safe ammo.
Several people have asked where you live and if I were you I'd get that information (just the general area, not your full address!) up here pretty sharpish as you might land yourself an invitation along to someone's house for some tea, biscuits and reloading.

Being new myself it is easy to understand how difficult it can be to get up and running. I don't have the skills or experience to tell gamegunner what he should be doing, I only just about manage the stuff I'm doing myself, but I feel that it is useful to offer encouragement as I enjoy my shooting and reloading and I'm sure he will as well. It is also the case that more new people mean a better future for us all; if everyone in the UK shot and reloaded we'd be able to buy reloading components in every supermarket rather than having to scrounge around for a few bullets here and some powder there. So every new reloader is good for us all in the long term.
You'll have the the powers that be, wetting themselves, can you imagine just going into a wallymart & picking up anything that took your fancy? 8)
