Handloader Magazine has information on reloading the 7MM Backcountry. I am posting this to provide information to anyone that wants to reload 7MM BC, not to discuss the merits of said cartridge. I don't have nor want a 7BC. But if/when the alloy case comes to the 22/6 creed platform, I will get one.
The short version of the article is: Lee is making dies. Need to bell the case mouth, and then taper crimp the bullet. Can reload factory once fired up to 3x.

There are a few videos and such out already, as well as the dies...which he mentions at the end.

I don't reload, but my buddy called me a bitch and bought me a reloading set up for my 17 year sobriety anniversary. He's either a great friend or wants me out of the picture.....as he also bought me the 7mm BC die set.

I'll be messing with loading some 175gr Accubonds and 175gr ELD-X. My 7mm BC likes the 170s and 195s but not the 175s.....so I'm going to make it like that weight. I'll mess with it once the powder I want is back in stock and after, of course, turkey season.

No interest in this cartridge. That being said, who ever runs the KAK industry Reddit account claims they are getting 10 firings out of the cases and have not experienced a case failure.
