7mm wsm
Does anyone make reloading dies for these wsm cartridges? Or reloadable brass?

Trying to deside which rifle to buy for white tail deer hunting:
1. 7 mm WSM
2. 7 mm Mag.
3. 30-06
Shooting range 150-500 yards. People have told me that the 7mmMag will be too big. Need some advise on the 7mm WSM. I know for sure that the 30-06 will be suitable. Your advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, DG (rookie hunter)0 -
If you want to use Hornady bullets, get a Hornady manual. Pick the powder of choice, and go buy some, (if you can find any). Do not mix, and match bullets, manuals, and powders!!! It may be fine, but it may not be fine. Be safe. HAWKSHAW 0 -
My brother reloads 140 Grain Nosler AccuBonds with 68.2 grains of H4831sc. He had loaded the Hornady InterBonds with 66 grains of the H4831sc. I hope this helps, but the usual disclaimer and make sure you confirm these loads elsewhere. 0 -
wsm 325,
You should list the powders you have so we don't have to flail around guessing...

WSM 325,
I normally load 168's and 180's in my 7 WSM but I did load up some 139 gr. SST's to how they shot for accuracy. I used 65.2 gr. of H4831x. The book shows that as right up near max so start three grains low and work up. I was getting right around 3100 in a 24" barrel with it. It's just my opinion but that speed of powder would probably work best for that weight. The 4350 would be better suited to 120/130 gr. bullets and the 4064 better suited to 100/110's. Again, just my opinion.0 -
The new Reloder 17 is made for the short mags, and as soon as I run out of H-4831 I'll use some of it and see..... 0 -
wsm 325,
Your supply of IMR-4831 will be perfect for using in combination with your SST's. But as 'mrbruce' points out, there are a couple of new powders that have been developed for these style cases and capacities.
Re-17
Hybrid 100V
IMR-4007SSC
I have also used V V N-160 with good results. An acquaintance of mine used the Hybrid 100V for all of his 7mm WSM loads that he took to Africa last year on his plains game hunt.
