Reloading dies for Seekins 7prc

[chrisdixon1]

I just received a Seekins Element in 7prc. I was wondering if anyone has any die recommendations? I will be using adg brass and Berger 175 elite hunters.

My main concern is clickers. Not too sure if clickers are common with Seekins chambers. I have read older posts, but haven’t found any consensus. With the newer boutique (SAC, etc) dies, if those are truly better I would spend the cash. But if they do not help with clickers more than a conventional die, then they may not be worth it for me.

SAC Modular sizing die will work, but the most economical fix for clickers I have found is an Eric Cortina mandrel die. The die sizes the web area even more more than my SAC. And to be clear I think it is nearly impossible to fix clickers on brass that has already started clicking, I would start with the mandrel die and a fresh lot of quality virgin brass.

If you want to fix it permanently have a good gunsmith clean it up with an AW2 reamer, buy a fresh lot of ADG brass, and a standard FL die set, and never worry about it.

Otherwise expensive sizing or collet dies can mitigate the issue.

I myself have a Seekins Element in 7 PRC. Love the gun. I use ADG brass, Forster dies, and fixed the clicker problem myself with an AW reamer. Super easy to do yourself. On a side note, I recommend sending in the Forster dies to have them hone the neck .003-.004” under sized dimensions. This minimizes how much your brass will be worked and I saw my concentricity go to .001” or less for finished rounds after this.

I have the reamer kits I rent out if you decide to do it yourself. A guy who recently rented one from me put together a YouTube tutorial for anyone else who plans on doing it themselves.
