I’d be interested in some 20ga if op is not or has found shells elsewhere.

Interested. You cant receive pms currently.

If there was another one of these on here at all I would be very surprised. I have searched and searched and cannot find anything identical.

New to loading a belted magnum cartridge, though that might not matter. I noticed the bolt requires a decent bit of force to rotate and lock the lugs when a reloaded cartridge is placed in the chamber. There are no rifling marks on the bullet so I know (think) my seating depth is ok. Is it possible I am not bumping the shoulders back far enough? How would I confirm?

7mm chambering “issues”

I will keep an eye on them after I fire them in my chamber. I need to learn to anneal also. -
7mm chambering “issues”
bowhunter-tw replied to bowhunter-tw's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Ok, so I bumped the shoulders back and they chamber. Now what is throwing me off is that without changing the setting on the die some of the cases bumped farther, some bumped less, and most of them bumped to nominal right where I wanted them. What about the brass would cause this variance? -

7mm chambering “issues”
bowhunter-tw replied to bowhunter-tw's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Ok, I’ll bump them all. How do you get your die set to bump exactly .001-.002 thou? Just by un threading measure and threading the die down very little amounts each time then re measure? -
7mm chambering “issues”
bowhunter-tw replied to bowhunter-tw's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I will put a little grease/lube on the lugs, I may pull the 10 loads I did just to be safe, if I can find a .284 collet. then re size to bump the shoulders 5 thou more. Any issue firing a case with dented shoulder? Had a little to much lube in sizing and it dented the shoulder in a few places, I imagine it would just fire form to the chamber when fired? -

7mm chambering “issues”
bowhunter-tw replied to bowhunter-tw's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Full length, not fired in this gun. Headspace gauge read 2.120 bumped them back to 2.115 and the bolt closes easy now. New question, those cartridges that are bumped to 2.120 and close tight should I pull them and bump them to 2.115 or are they ok to fire? -

Anybody have any components or powders for 7mm they would like to sell? Im looking for powder, 150-170gr projectiles, and about 100 magnum LR primers I have powder but not sure its good for magnum cartridges.
-
Will do, Im in Tempe and get meet you in east valley
-
Awesome! I found powder and projectiles. Just need mag primers, unless I can use LRP, but I think a lot of loads call for mag specifically

IMR4350, IMR4064, IMR3031, and H4895. But I think only 4350 would work for 7mm
