[QUOTE="edmedm, post: 1156225, member: 71250"] Recently acquired a vintage Lyman All American 2 Die Set. The original packaging indicated 7 M/M REM MAG, but the "REM MAG" has been crossed out, and based on a few quick measurements I agree that the die is not appropriate for 7mm Rem Mag brass, but I am stumped as to what commercial cartridge the die set will fit. Marking on die state "Lyman 7 MM FL", shown in photo. Note that measurements were taken quickly with a set of digital calipers, not perfect, but hopefully close enough to facilitate product ID. OAL of die body is 2.818". Sizer ball diameter is marked 283, and measures .283". ID at die base measures ~.467". Cartridge base to shoulder is 1.748". Cartridge base to neck transition is 1.945". (For these length dims added typical .125" shell holder height to measurements taken from die.) I have compared these measurements to various 7mm cartridges and have come up dry so far. Any help identifying the intended use of this sizing die will be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
