Hornady 7mm or 30 Cal Short Neck Size Dies

normo · Feb 4, 2012

Looking to see if anyone has used these type of Neck size die from Hornady? They appear able to neck size multiple calibers per die. I am wanting to neck size 7-30 Waters and 30 Herrett, once they have been fire formed for my T/C Contender.
The price is attractive but more interested in how they work.
Any information would be helpful.

Thanks,

I can't say much about the 7mm or 30 cal sizers but I did end up with the 35 cal version. I find it useful to true up the necks on new 35 Whelen brass or necking up 30-06 brass (which I rarely do) still like to use my normal full length set though for working on fired brass.

I've been using Hornady dies for a while, and like them. I've used their neck die for my 270Wby, and also a .308cal neck die for both 30-06 and 300 Wby. Works like a charm, as long as you don't get to thinking you've got a FL die and ram a case in hard enough to buckle the shoulder…
