[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 708770, member: 9215"] Wilson dies are neck sizers and using them will still require you that you Full Lenght size from time to time. Any potential accuracy advantage over conventional (threaded) dies and common press is quite small and no new guy using a factory rifle is ever going to see any benefit from anything else. Nor will he see any meaning full difference with costly dies from Redding or Forster. Your 7 mag is not a target cartridge and you won't be shooting BR grade bullets so any difference you might get with the costly dies - or press - would likely be invisible. Buy a good single stage press and a die set from Lee, RCBS, Lyman or Hornady - they are all quite capabile of producing better ammo than many reloaders can produce or their rifles benefit from, certainly not for a very long time. If you ever exceed the potential of your first press and dies you will have the experience to judge for yourself what you might wish to try. You can spend more money on a press but you won't find a better single stage than Lee's Classic Cast; it's big and strong enough to load .50 BMG for a lifetime, it's precisely machined and it has the best user features of any press of it's type.
