Does anyone know if the Cortina 7 PRC die will work SAAMI spec chambers? Specifically will the die resize the base enough to avoid clickers.

I know he did a video on the 6.5 PRC/7 PRCW and he said the die would work with the SAAMI chambers and the chambers PRC 2 chambers (0.535 at 0.200 line). But now on his site there are 2 different 6.5 PRC/7 PRCW dies, one for SAAMI chambers and one for PRC 2. I’m assuming the video was made before they came out with 2 different dies.

So why have 2 dies? I’m assuming if you have the PRC 2 chamber it’s advantageous to have a die with a larger base.

So it’s no clear what chamber the 7 PRC die was designed for since there is only 1 type on Cortina’s website.
 
If this doesn't cover it, I would give them a ring.

This does not cover it. This is part of the source of the confusion. There is only 1 die for the 7 PRC as opposed to 2 for the 6.5 PRC and 7 PRCW.

The site does not indicate which chamber(s) the 7 PRC works with. Just like with 6.5 PRC it is very common to have the 7 PRC chambered with SAAMI specs (0.532 at 0.200) and custom/non-SAAMI/7 PRC2 specs (0.535 at 0.200).
