[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 979485, member: 25383"] assuming the press doesn't have a lot of wear in it, and still loading for a factory chamber; the full length die will do everything you need. You don't have a minimum spec chamber and undersize neck. Just buy good brass, and take it from there. Lapua brass usually cleans up with .002" shaved off the necks (sometimes less). If the necks are concentric to within .002" TIR, I wouldn't bother shaving necks. The chamber is probably not that good! On the otherhand, I would start with a 7mm Rem. mag seater, and ream it to fit the case. Forster will sell you the sleeve, and the rest is easy. Of course using unturned brass will negate the need to ream the sleeve. The Forster seater without the micrometer head is identical to the one with it, sans the micrometer. You can buy the micrometer head and install it on the Co-Ax seater, and you have the Ultra die. The real issue is getting the sizer concentric (no matter what die by the way). Otherwise you have garbage in and garbage out! I usually size within .001 TIR, and seat to about .0015"TIR or less. Every step adds a little error. gary [/QUOTE]
