Who uses the Hornady Custom Grade New Dimension dies with the zip spindle system? How do you like it/them? I don't have any of these type dies and am hoping to get some firsthand opinion(s) about them.
Not that it should matter, but I plan on using this set for 7mm R.U.M. reloading, for a bolt gun.
So, if you have anything to say about the C.G.N.D. dies please speak up?!
Also, if you have any tips, etc. for reloading the 7mm R.U.M. I would appreciate hearing your input, as I.m just getting ready to start reloading for this chambering.
Thanx in advance!

  I use Hornady dies for all of my bottle-neck cartridges. None of them have the zip spindle though. That being said, my only beef with the old dies is the crappy way in which the spindle was held in the die, so with the zip spindle, that issue is solved. The seating dies are much easier to adjust than RCBS dies and I love the bullet guide. All-in-all, I think that they are the best dies on the market for the price.

  They work just fine and I use them a lot unless I'm loading for the BR's then I use Wilson dies.
  The zip spindle is a blessing.....
  The only tip I have is to use heavy bullets and slow powders..........

  I have both RCBS and a the new Hornaday dies. I love the new Hornady dies. A little more user friendly. Using them on a 270WSM.

  what kind of loads do you put in your 270WSM----have a Kimber that seems a bit fussy about what it likes---shooting 130 gr Sierra SP----just wondering if your rifle is sensitive also???

  Only have had tne gun for a few months. Only tried 130gr Hornady SST. Work okay. I've used H4831 and Mag Pro. No diference in accuracy, but the Mag Pro should have more zip. Trying different seating deapths now. I bought the Savage package, I ended up replacing the rings and bases. It helped, only been to the range once since then.
