I am having a Rem Model 700 300 H&H barrel delivered to replace the barrel on a Model 700 in 7mm Mag. Finding 300 H&H brass is a little difficult but I have several hundred once fired cases in 375 H&H. Since both rounds are based on the same case I am considering necking down some 375 H&H brass to 300 H&H brass. I plan on doing it in 3 stages: Full length size and deprime the 375 cases. Run the cases through a 300 H&H die without the decapping pin and then running the cases through a 300 H&H die with the decapping pin in place. Then check neck thickness and length and trim accordingly and fire form the cases.

In my mind this should work. What are Y'All's thoughts? Doable with normal dies? Or should I have RCBS make me a sizing die from 375-300? Not sure that would be needed. I am curious if anyone has done this and if they ran into any issues.

I would think annealing would be a good idea too.


I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

When i neck down, i typically neck turn first . I made a lot of stuff from Fed gold medal match 308 once fired. I had to neck turn on several rifles as the necks were too thick.
