The rifle comes with redding dies, I'll be sure to check them before use.

I really like the 7MM TCU as brass is cheap to free and can be reloaded many times. My favorite load for 25 yds. is 5.2 grains Unique with a 120 grain gas checked cast bullet. use in my Contender 10 in. and 14 in. and my Savage Axis with a Shilen barrel. Much fun!!!! dd
Don't forget Junior1942'sa work with the "Soupcan" and WC820(N) powder, specially here on this site!
Link to his 7mm TCU project is here someplace

The Second there to protect the First!
I just picked up a couple Contender barrels (10" and 14" bullbarrel) along with 4-500 pieces of brass, couple boxes of 120 grn J things and a set of dies recently in 7mmTCU. I'll probably sell the 10" off and stay with just the 14" to get a little bit more velocity out of the load.
After reading this thread I am inspired to get mine out and play with it. I still have a couple hundred loaded up.
I bought a 2nd sizer, back in the Day when RCBS Would still cut you a Special Sizer Die for a fair price and 3 fired cases. It works so well, that I Haven't had to form any new cases in years. But then I don't shoot it 600+ times a year either. And My loads are not as hot with cast as they were with those other types of bullets.
I HATE auto-correct
Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.
My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

Was at a local gun show this weekend and was basically handed a brand new sealed box of Hornady 7mm GC, so now I guess am on the lookout for a mould set and sizer/lube die for my Star..
