    Best 7mm Rem mag Dies

    Hey all,
    I am planning to purchase a 7mm rem mag shortly and I want to get some dies for it, but in my research, i've found that belted magnums like the 7RM are notoriously difficult to load because the belted area doesn't get set all the way back or something to that effect.
    I've also heard that there are some specialty dies that address this issue and people have gotten 10 or 20 reloadings per case with these special dies.

    Does anyone have experience with these dies? Where to buy? Do they work as advertised?
    Thanks!

    They are only getting 10-20 loads if they are shooting creampuff loads.

    You have over-thought this or listened to too many armchair quarterbacks.

    Just buy a set of FL dies and you are good to go. Some will want to buy a neck sizing die but I load hunting loads and being reliable is more important than the last 1/64" accuracy. If you are strickly target shooting then a neck sizer could be usefull. But if you were only target shooting there are much better choices than a 7mag.

    Redding are probably the best dies but RCBS, Hornady or Lyman will work just fine.
    PS I have 7mmRem mag stuff for sale since I rebarreled mine to 264Wim mag.
    A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

          I prefer RCBS but bought Hornady a little while ago for my 7mm as they came with a free box of bullets. Here is the collet die for resizing the area sbove the belt. It's on my buy list but haven't even needed it yet for my 300 Weatherby with 6-8 loads on the cases using RCBS dies.

          Our patented resizing die can reload Winchester, Remington and Weatherby belted magnums up to 20 times, instead of just 2 or 3 times and the top of the die is a chamber width gauge.

            Headspace the cartridge from the shoulder after your first firing in the rifle and keep that brass paired with that rifle.
            Then, you don't have to worry about excessive headspace.
