[QUOTE="JBMK262, post: 2119650, member: 109349"] Thinking of adding a 7 SAUM rifle and with brass being scarce at the moment I wondered if necking up 6.5 SAUM to 7 SAUM is viable? I have never necked up or down any cartridge and wanted to know a few things... [LIST=1] [*]It seems possible to do this, am I correct? [*]From what I understand the necks will get thinner...is there a point where they would get too thin in this operation? [*]Current necks measure .015” and .0145” on average amongst certain lots of brass...will these be sufficient to neck up? [*]Are there trade offs from using virgin 7 SAUM brass that I should take into consideration? [/LIST] What I have gathered so far is that to do this all I would need is a 7 SAUM sizing die. I do have a mandrel die and if the better process is getting a mandrel to neck up prior to using the sizing die I could do that as well. Thanks in advance. Jake [/QUOTE]
