I'll move this to the handloading forum for you.

AFAIK, all Ackley Improved cartridges allow you to fire the parent cartridge in them. The pressure then forms that case to fit it. That's one of the features of the conversions.

I didn't know there was an AI version of 7 mm Mag (presumably Remington Magnum). There is a 7 mm-08 AI, though. Double-check the barrel stamping.

Check CH4D for dies. Check the RCBS Custom list.

Edit: Ok. Now see you have a second thread already covering the topic. I'll merge these posts into it. Please don't double post topics. This is partly because you get a lot of duplicate answers, which wastes board bandwidth. It's also partly because folks who are interested may see one thread but not the other and miss out on some information. It's best to keep it all under one roof.
