    7mm ICL Wapiti anybody.

    My friend just got a Saturn 7mm ICL Wapiti from his grandfathers estate. The action is a Mauser 98. He got some loaded ammo and some brass, but the dies are not to be found. Anybody ordered a custom die set, or have a set to sell? If a custom set is ordered whom would you recommend? Marv
