Thread: Case length 7mm saum vs 7mm08

My powder funnel needed a trim to clear the shoulder as well. This was early on soon after the cartridge was introduced.

I had that with a WSM too...and then discovered in amoung my bits n pieces a bench mounted priming tool that takes the same shell holders and the press..5minutes in garage and had piece of 4" nail exact right length for primer pushing rod...piece of cake after that and I know I can prime anything I have shell holder for in future if the hand primer ever dies.
