    Neck die question

    Can I use a 7wsm neck die to neck size 7SAUM?

    I think it will be fine based on the WSM having a fatter body.

    Been looking for a 7SAUM neck die but no luck.

    Cheers,

    You might not quite reach the entire neck as the shoulder/junction of the wsm is at a higher level than the one of the saum

    Order one from Sinclair’s in US. Even with lower cost post shipping options it only takes a week or so

    Are they based on the same parent case ?And is it a bushing style die, if so then yes, I use a neck bushing die from 308 to do 260. It would equally do 7mm 08 or 243

    Both based on the same case, wsm has a shorter neck and shoulder junction is higher.

    Figured the longer neck of the saum would enable the neck to be sized up to the shoulder jusnvtion with no problems.

    Not a bushing die just regular neck sizer
