I risk taking a drubbing for not searching, but I did, and I find all sorts of tidbits but no real motherload of the info I need to start loading 7mm TCU. I've had a 10" 7mm TCU barrel for my Contender for years but never got around to wanting to shoot it until now, so if someone (or someones) could kindly throw me some answers to what may seem to be simple questions to those who've been there and done that, I'd really appreciate it.
1. I'll be using my Rockchucker so I know which dies I need from RCBS, but do I "need" an expander die as well?
2. I'm assuming that I should use the FL die set at each reload, but is there any reason to consider using just the neck die once the brass is formed?
3. What are some favorite recent loads some of you have settled upon, and which are your favorite (most accurate) bullets you've found for the 7mm TCU?
4. I've read more often than not that .223 Remington is "the" brass to use for the conversion. But just for grins, I'll ask the question if any brand is as good as another, or if the Remington is really the only way to go (I understand that using military brass is a no-no).
TIA
