Description

This set comprises two individual steel reloading dies designed for the 7mm Remington Magnum cartridge, manufactured by Herter’s. The set includes a full-length sizer die and a seating die, both featuring knurled grips for manual adjustment and threaded bodies for press installation. The seating die is stamped in a circular format on the upper section “7 M M MAG SEATER,” and the corresponding locking ring is impressed with “WASECA, MINN,” identifying the manufacturer’s historical location in Minnesota. The sizing die is stamped “SIZER” on the upper body, with a locking ring bearing the “HERTER’S” name flanked by star symbols. The dies are housed in a red plastic storage case with a flip-top lid. A blue adhesive paper label is affixed to the exterior of the case with handwritten text reading “7mm Rem mag” and “$20”.


Condition report:

The dies show visible signs of previous use and age. Both components exhibit surface oxidation, light pitting, and scattered dark spots across the knurled and threaded surfaces (photos 2 and 3). The decapping pin is present on the sizing die (photo 2). The red plastic storage case is intact, though the interior shows some minor debris and scuffing consistent with tool storage (photo 2). The exterior blue label is secured but shows light wear to the edges (photo 1).
