Just treat it like any other chambering. In step 4), adjust your FL die (I prefer Forster) to bump the shoulder 0.002-0.003”. Done. Same here. Set the die for the gun you wanna reload for and it’s a one time deal most of the time. 2-3 thou is great fit and you’ll likely never wear the brass out unless you’re hammering the heck out of it or you never anneal. Good post scotty. I PFL using just run of the mill RCBS dies. Accuracy/precision is good enough for me: 7mm RM brass shown after sizing. Figured that would be the best representation for the op, since he's asking about that cartridge. Be sure to set your die with brass that has been fireformed to your chamber. I also have 2 7mm rem mags, but they are both Winchester model 70 classics and they look like the chambers have been cut with the same reamer. Got lucky on that one!!! The shoulder bump is the key (.002-.003" is about perfect). I treat all of my belted mag brass just like any other brass. It shoots just the same as standard non belted stuff and feeds excellent. Never an issue.. Some guys want to make newbies think the belt is a hinderance, but that shows their lack of knowledge and experience. You sure are getting sooty necks.... That's from my die, you really are an idiot. I like to keep my dies like that, so I can tell what they are doing. You may want to listen, rather than open your big mouth. Listen to the men here: You might learn something.. Some things seem to go right over your head though..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Belted cases are made short to the shoulder and undersized in the body. There was an excellent reason when they were invented. As my big game is killed with a semi-auto belted magnum rifle I only use fully prepped new brass when hunting. Shoots 3 sub moa which is good enuf. No reason for belts anymore unless you're shooting a break open rifle that you can't find a rimmed cartridge for. Waiting for a semi-auto in 300 Norma or 30 Nosler.

When he passed, I inherited his stash. Good stuff. I lube all sorts of stuff with graphite now, including case necks!

I don't run an expander button in my dies...I have no need to lube the neck.
If I'm using a full length body die I just lightly touch the bottom two thirds of the case walls with some Imperial sizing wax and lightly lube the inside of the neck with a nylon brush.
I guess some of you girls need soot on your cases to tell what your doing....grease them up if you have them girls.

Again, if you’re smoking cases after 3 reloads you can really do whatever you want, hopefully far away from people that aren’t wearing safety glasses or long sleeves.

I full length size my 7 mags, have 6, ain’t got time to sort brass for each one. I load 64 grains of IMR 4350 with a 140 Nosler ballistic tip. That load has shot well in many 7 mags. I hunt, ain’t a paper shooter, except to check before season. I have multiples of several rifles, don’t neck size for any rifle I own.
I cshitcan belted brass after the 4th firing.

I never said I was smoking cases after 3 firings I said the primer pockets start feeling a little loose after 3 or 4 firings when they did I pitched them. I been handloading since about 1976 or 77....never once have I had any issues with any thing I've handloaded.....each gun is a different animal when you're loading hot. At the first sign of pressure I always back off a little. I don't remember the exact load I was shooting in my 24" barreled 7mm Rem. magnum I do recall the velocity I was shooting. The 5 shot average over a PACT chronograph was 3325 fps with Reloader 19 and a 140 gr. Nosler Ballitic tip the powder charge was a little over recommended max....I was set up .010 off the lands. With a160 gr. Nosler Partition I was averaging a little over 3200 fps with Hodgedon 1000 I cam recall of the powder charge was over the recommended max and both loads shot to the same point of impact at 100 yards.. You girls should stick to your pip squeak Creedmores...I hear their cases last forever.

STUPIDITY has no "edge" and is simply to the fhuqking bone,as you obliviously quantify. Hint.
For even more oblivious HILARITY,cite the particulars of your "Edge" rifle and the ammo associated. Then dangle a picture of the Goat Fhuqk,to knock it out of the park. Dare ya'. Hint.
Fhuqking LAUGHING!............. Sounds like you been drinking too much Goat sizum Slick...

I shoot bigger cases 7mms and that’d smoke my stuff out of longer barrels. It’s your rifle and such so I don’t rightly care how you use your stuff. Don’t take it the wrong way, I like to run my stuff to what it’s capable of. I just don’t believe hammering my guns and brass adds anything to the gunfight.
