reamer dimensions

I would like some advice on tightening reamer dimensions on belted magnum case specifically 7stw. Am aware of problems with belted magnum cases. I do not need speculation.
 
reamer question

Contact Larry Willis at Innovative Technologies - Reloading Equipment. He makes a custom die that takes care of sizing the case all the way to the belt.
Phone: 402 695 2685 . Do a search on Innovative Technologies there is a write up re: this die. Hope this help.
 
The 7mm STW was the 8mm Rem Mag necked down to 7mm, but then someone got the bright idea to increase the reamer size so it would clean up factory 7mm Rem mag chambers and you could make a 7mm STW on the cheap. The die manufacturers got on board and increased the dimensions of their sizing dies accordingly.
On my 7mm STW finish reamer, I just took the body dimensions from the 8mm Rem Mag and had it ground to that. On the throat, I had the freebore decreased to allow rounds to run through a Remington magazine and touch the lands. Works good, but dies are a problem although sending fired cases to Redding has resulted in a proper sizing die. Also, don't try recutting a factory 7mm Rem Mag chamber to STW as it wont clean up the forward part of the chamber.
