Here is an article about forming .243 Win Lapua brass to .260 AI. I know, not the same but you may want to take a look. I would just go ahead and do it, I can't forsee too many problems. If you had a 7mm-08 die set it may help.

I've made 243's from 308's in one step. It would be good to add a size or two in between to avoid the occasional caved-in neck.
I lube inside and outside the neck and lightly lube the body.
Perhaps necking-up is easier - consider starting with 243 brass?
Good luck - SD

Why would one want to inside neck ream? Why would anyone want to do ANYTHING to the inside of a case neck for that matter other than clean it?
If the brass is too thick then get a neck turning kit and turn the OUTSIDE and leave the inside (the part that holds onto the bullet) as is.
Well you're both right, it depends on whether it's done before or after sizing(ream vs turn). Sizing down like this is not prob. just lube and size, and like others have said watch for too thick necks. Sizing up is more work as it requires neck expanding and may have to be done in steps.
