Loading 7mm ??
« on: August 15, 2008, 12:43:07 PM »
I was wondering if you could reload 7mm08,7mm Remington Mag and 7mm Remy Ulti-mag with the same set of dies?I have never dealt with these before,but a friend of mine gave me a new set for the Ultra-mag.I have a neighbor that has an 08.I know that all 3 die set are for sale and if 1 set could load all 3 why would there be 3.I just answer my own question ;D.If you can't would someone please educate me on "why not"..............Rick

Cuz the cases are bottle necked not straight wall. With straight walled cases you can load different lenghts with same dies but with bottle necked cases the inside of dies must very precisely fit the  size and shape of the case.

You can use your UM seating and crimp dies for the others, but not the sizing die, sizing die, very different.
