Well, oomans, we've committed to pawloadin'
We've ordered the RCBS Rock Chucker Master Supreme kit from JD of this parish, and 100 Prvi 7mm Rem Mag cases. Postman Pat is also bringing us a few hundred 175 gr Sierra HPBT bullets and ovenpaa is on the case for some Lee dies. All we think we need now is powder and we're thinking Ramshot Magnum or Viht N560.

I've just about in the same boat, with the same kit from the same bloke! What are you going to do about case trimming, tumbling and powder trickling? You also might think about what you're going to attach the uniflow powder thrower to, you do get a bracket in the kit. What you might not realise is you have to disassemble the hand priming tool to attach the shell holder, I'd suggest buying some extras so you don't have to, it's a pain.
I quite like these powder tricklers, they look nice.

All our 7mm rounds will be fired in the same rifle, so we think neck trimming alone should suffice. We haven't a big enough brain to think about the other stuff yet.

Absolutely one paw at a time. I am not sure I would of bought that kit but it will probably get you started. The RCBS hand priming tool is not one of my favourites the last one I had I gave away and was glad to see the back of it.

I think you mean neck (collet die) sizing?, Cases will still need to be trimmed to length at some point, the Lee system is cheap and very accurate, just add a drill and the chamfer/de-burr tool included with the RCBS kit and off you go :)

I have the RCBS Universal hand priming tool and it's head and shoulders above the Lee version, I must have primed over 10,000 cases with it.
