The Redding 7mm STW Form and Trim Die (MPN: 83544) is a dedicated reloading tool engineered to shape and file-trim brass cartridge cases to the correct length for the 7mm Shooting Times Western (STW) cartridge. Constructed from heat-treated, surface-hardened precision steel, the die features a hardened top surface designed to withstand contact with standard flat mill files. It allows reloaders to execute intermediate case-forming steps from parent magnum brass and file excess neck material flush without subjecting the case body to unnecessary full-length resizing stresses.

Key Features

  • Hardened Top Surface: Functions as a precise mechanical file stop, allowing extended cartridge brass to be manually filed flush to exact trim length.
  • Intermediate Case Forming: Facilitates necking down and rough-forming parent magnum cases into 7mm STW dimensions prior to final full-length sizing.
  • Reduced Brass Stress: Internal dimensions enable case-length trimming without imparting unnecessary full-length sizing pressure on the cartridge walls.
  • Universal Press Threading: Machined with an industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread interface to ensure direct compatibility with standard single-stage and turret reloading presses.

Who is the Redding 7mm STW Form and Trim Die for?

  • Precision Handloaders Forming Custom Brass — requires a dedicated forming tool to neck down and file-trim parent magnum brass to exact 7mm STW chamber dimensions on a standard 7/8"-14 threaded press.
  • Low-to-Moderate Batch Reloaders — handles manual case prep and trimming on single-stage presses utilizing Redding #6 shellholders without requiring motorized case prep centres.

Less suitable for: High-volume brass preparation exceeding hundreds to thousands of rounds, where a dedicated motor-driven power case trimmer provides significantly faster output than a manual file-trim die, or for cartridges with dimensions other than 7mm STW.
