Trying to finish up...what else do I still need?
Hey pal, I started reloading about a year ago and can offer a little bit of advice. I ended up getting the forster trimmer and like the fact that it is a hand crank a lot cuz you can feel everything that you are doing, if something is out of whack, you notice it immediately. I also have it set...- Timbco84

Help me pick my new dies for 7mm Rem Mag
I ordered a K&M Expander so I'll see how it goes when that shows up. You make a good point about my current dies. I was trying to make a 3 step process a 2 step process...not going to work that way. Your right, those links you posted are filled with awesome info, I will be passing those along...- Timbco84

Help me pick my new dies for 7mm Rem Mag
Hello, I'm using a RCBS Rock Chucker Press currently with standard RCBS FL dies. I'm having a problem with the expander only opening my case necks up to .281" which is a little to tight for my neck turning pilot to fit in for one, and I'm not sure, but that seems like excessive neck tension for...- Timbco84

Setting up for neck turning...Problem with pilot fitting inside the neck 7mm Mag
MikeeBooshay-OK - Step one, size neck to fit bullet - aim for EXACTLY the bullet diameter. Keep track of what expander used, that will be the one from now on. Since I am using this rifle for 50% Hunting 50% non competition long range shooting, wouldn't I want a little bit of neck tension, say...- Timbco84

Setting up for neck turning...Problem with pilot fitting inside the neck 7mm Mag
I am running it with an expander plug, it opens it enough to fit the trimmer pilot just right (its .280"), but the neck turning pilot is .282". The case necks are averaging .281" after coming out of the FL die with expander plug.- Timbco84

Setting up for neck turning...Problem with pilot fitting inside the neck 7mm Mag
Sure I want to neck turn? Well I figured if I was going to spend time reloading instead of buying off the shelf, I would reload as consistant as possible to make it worth the effort. Are you saying I have another option besides bushing dies that will still let me neck turn?- Timbco84

Setting up for neck turning...Problem with pilot fitting inside the neck 7mm Mag
Ok, I didn't realize there was FL busing dies. Only ever saw them on neck dies. Thank you for that insight. I figured I was going to have to purchase some better dies, the RCBS FL's were a christmas present to get me started. What FL bushing dies would you recommend? And also, what size neck...- Timbco84

Setting up for neck turning...Problem with pilot fitting inside the neck 7mm Mag
My Forster turning pilot does not cut. I have a RCBS Pilot Reamer, but for brand new it doesn't work that good, and I didn't want to take a bunch of material out of the inside of the neck if I didn't have to. Spinning to warm up the brass is a no go, just flat out to tight for that. Copy on...- Timbco84

Setting up for neck turning...Problem with pilot fitting inside the neck 7mm Mag
I think that is what I am going to have to do. The .284" trimmer pilot fits fine after the FL resize, just not the turner pilot. I'll turn them prior to FL sizing next time around. I just really want to make sure my FL dies were opening the neck up enough for the bullet to be seated without a...- Timbco84

Setting up for neck turning...Problem with pilot fitting inside the neck 7mm Mag
I can appreciate your input. I am looking to turn the high spots off of the neck, creating the same neck thickness for the circumference of the neck. Thus, creating equal neck tension for the bullet. I understand where your coming from, but I think the technology applies weather full length...- Timbco84
