What components and shellholders are required to start using the Redding 60280 7mm SAUM Elite Die Set?

This 3-die set includes a Type S Bushing Full Length Sizing Die, a Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die, and a Competition Bullet Seating Die with a micrometer adjustment. Because sizing bushings and shellholders are sold separately, you will need to acquire a Redding Standard Shellholder #6 (#11006) or Competition Shellholder Set #6 (#11606) alongside appropriate neck sizing bushings, which typically range from 0.310" to 0.318" for 7mm SAUM brass.

Can I use this Redding die set for heavily compressed powder loads in my extreme long-range 7mm SAUM rounds?

No, the manufacturer explicitly advises against using the Competition Seating Die for heavily compressed powder loads, as excessive upward pressure against the internal floating sleeve mechanism can cause binding or damage. Standard seating dies are recommended if your specific 7mm SAUM load involves heavy powder compression.

Are sizing bushings and VLD projectiles included with the Redding Type S-Elite 7mm SAUM set?

The set does not include sizing bushings or Very Low Drag (VLD) seating stems, which must be purchased separately. While the included seating stem handles standard tangent and secant ogive bullets, VLD projectiles require a dedicated VLD seating stem to prevent tip bottoming and deformation during seating.

Are there any Australian firearms licenses or electrical certifications required to purchase and use these reloading dies?

As purely mechanical reloading tools with no electrical components, they do not require 240V mains power or SAA/RCM electrical safety compliance. Furthermore, handloading dies are unregulated reloading accessories across all Australian States and Territories and can be purchased without a firearms license endorsement.

7mm SAUM Die Set - Redding 60280

The Redding Type S-Elite Bushing Die Set for 7mm Remington Short Action Ultra Magnum (7mm SAUM / RSAUM) is a precision three-die reloading system designed to minimise projectile runout and provide exact control over case neck tension. Featuring industry-standard 7/8"-14 TPI mounting threads, this set accommodates .284 in (7.21 mm) diameter projectiles and gives handloaders the choice between neck-sizing fire-formed brass or full-length resizing cases for reliable feeding. The included Competition Seating Die uses a sliding alignment sleeve to support the cartridge case before the seating stem engages the bullet, paired with a micrometer adjustable in 0.001" increments for repeatable seating depth.

Key Features

Three-Die Configuration: Includes a Type S Bushing Full Length Sizing Die (Part #77280), a Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die (Part #71280), and a Competition Bullet Seating Die.
Interchangeable Bushing System: Utilises self-centering neck sizing bushings (recommended range of 0.310" to 0.318", sold separately) to size case necks without overworking the brass.
Micrometer Bullet Seating: Employs an internal floating sleeve that aligns the bullet and case axis before seating, controlled by a top-mounted micrometer graduated in 0.001" increments.
Standard Press Mounting: Features 7/8"-14 TPI threading compatible with standard single-stage and turret reloading presses.
Shellholder Compatibility: Engineered for use with Redding Standard Shellholder #6 (#11006) or Competition Shellholder Set #6 (#11606) (sold separately).

Who is the Redding 7mm SAUM Type S-Elite Die Set for?

Long-range precision rifle shooters handloading 7mm SAUM — who require minimal bullet runout and exact neck tension for .284 in (7.21 mm) projectiles by using interchangeable neck bushings ranging from 0.310" to 0.318" alongside a micrometer seating die adjustable in 0.001" increments.
Extreme long-range hunters reloading 7mm SAUM ammunition — who need this 7mm SAUM reloading die set to switch between full-length resizing for dependable magazine cycling and dedicated neck sizing for fire-formed brass across 7/8"-14 TPI single-stage presses.

Less suitable for: Handloaders assembling heavily compressed powder charges, which can bind or damage the internal floating sleeve mechanism of the Competition Seating Die (a conventional standard non-micrometer seating die fits compressed loads better), shooters loading Very Low Drag (VLD) bullets without purchasing the optional VLD seating stem, or those loading standard 7mm Rem Mag, 7mm PRC, or .300 SAUM cartridges.
