i and trying to figure out what type of dies i should get for a 7mm Remington magnum and need help because i want to load 175gr burgers elite hunter bullets and want the best G1 and G7 and was looking for some information. so tell me what your experience is
Thanks
 
My opinion. Forster FL die, Forster neck die with 3 bushings and shoulder bump, Forster Micrometer bench rest seater, and a Sinclair neck expander die with both the .283 and .282 mandrel. Throw away the expander button in the Forster die and expand the necks with the Sinclair die. You can spend more, but this will load exceptionally straight ammo. You might be able to tell some difference in a benchrest rifle with hand dies, but not in a hunting rifle. You can also duplicate this with Redding for twice the money and the same quality and results.

Brownells does not sell the Forster bump die. They have Redding if you want to get everything in the same place.
Midway does not sell the neck expanding die.
You will also need a shell holder if you do not already have one.
