Ok, so I am new to reloading. I am reloading for 7mm Rem Mag. I just today resized and decapped my 1 time fired brass. I guess I ordered the wrong size case holder. I ordered A #5 when i shouldve ordered a #4. I set the die correctly. I had to trim 10 cases out of 50. Should I wait for the new case holder to arrive and resize them again using the correct holder? Feel like an idiot at this point, but wont make that mistake again.

Thanks for any help....

Did you run into any problems during the sizing which makes you feel you need to resize?
The more you work the brass, the quicker it gets work hardened. That can lead to the need for an annealing machine, or new brass.

I think you should be just fine. When the time comes for a collet style die, check out "Reloading Technologies". Their belted mag collet die really works great.
Glen Zediker's "Top Grade Ammo" is a book which will prevent a lot of mistakes and save a bunch of money in the long run.
