Canadian Reloading Blues 7x57

[BC Tal]

Why is it so difficult to find the reloading equipment or components that I want... right now?
I'm looking for, preferably, a set of Forster 7x57 dies and they seem to be made of unobtainiam right now. Just ugh...
My rant may be fueled by a couple of after work Friday martinis. On the flip side, Edmonton is up 3-2 over Florida in game 2.

Florida up 4-3…..

Good luck with the dies, maybe get a bear hunter to bring the up for you eh?

As a Carolina Hurricanes fan I say go Edmonton!

The Forster website has a Bench Rest® Die Set in 7x57. Their shipping address on the shopping cart allows the choice of the USA or Canada. Is that an acceptable model? It appears to be on sale.

An appreciation for Sapphire martinis with a twist has fueled a couple of interesting episodes in my life...

Appreciate the tip! And the martini was Sapphire with Lillet Blanc and lemon peel.
Hell of a game last night.

Why not try the Reddings dies, they are fine dies and probably easier to get.

Oh, and the final was FL Panthers 5-4. Go Cats!!!!!

Don't hate.

@PARA45, the heart wants what the heart wants. Having said that, Prophet River Firearms does carry the Redding dies...
Oh, and as for the game last night, of all the Panthers to score the OT winner - ugh.

Blue Jays are on a roll. May sweep the Twins tomorrow and they are tough. Bullpen and bench hitting has been saving the Jays. Too bad about Oilers losing but the crowd got their money's worth. Great game.

Men of Culture! We meet again!

Gin, Lillet & a lemon peel? Add a measure of vodka to that & you have the Vesper martini that James Bond named after Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale.

RCBS almost always has this caliber dies as does Hornady in my experience. so sorry you are having trouble. great caliber

I don’t have dies, but can point you in the right direction. The top link below may be what you are after.

I also have 62 once fired cases up for sale for £34. I’m in the U.K. but happy to post.

If you can find a set of dies in the U.K, I’m happy to assist with postage if the seller won’t post direct.

I ordered the Redding die set from Prophet River Firearms. Not exactly what I wanted, but still good stuff, easy, available now and decent price.

@odonata
Real men of class and culture drink
Rum and own at least one 35 Whelen.
If'n y'all own a 243 that is immediate expulsion from the club of cool, class and culture.

A friend gave me a Remington 35 Whelen barrel but my gunsmith told me it wasn’t a good fit for my 700. So my first attempt to upsize one of my 30-06 rifles was not a success. I do have a 9.3 so I’m really close…

Hemingway’s favorite drink was a Daiquiri #4 from the Floridita Club in Havana. A fresh squeezed lime, some maraschino liqueur & a bunch of rum. We’ve gotten into the habit of knocking back way too many of them on a hot day. Last month when I was sailing from Port St Joe to Pass Christian, we were sipping Appleton Estate neat.

My 7x57 project rifle is a 1913 intermediate length Mauser Oberndorf. I can’t feed it PPU, or Federal or Winchester, it wouldn’t be right.
It must be feed German quality. Which is why while currently on holidays in Vienna my (very lovely and patient) wife and I made a two day venture on the train to Zwiesel, Germany to visit Bayerwald Jagdcenter. Herr Steiner had what my Oberndorf needed - RWS 7x57 ‘High-end Cases’.
There was a side benefit too - amazing beer and Bavarian food

Life is good.

RWS makes outstanding brass!
Wish it was freely available down here in South Africa.
