Yup, that is the patent gimmick collet die I was talking about.
$90 to salvage some used brass fired in a different gun?
No.

Now if the problem recurs with other brands fireformed from new in that rifle, maybe.
But, I think that you would have to agree that the die is an elegant solution. In a target only situation (1000 yd. competition), where the cases may have been sorted by weight, primer pockets uniformed, flash holes deburred, necks turned, cases trimmed and chamfered a shooter will loath to part with them...then, in that context the $90 tool seems like a legitimate investment. But, for hunting, heck no. But then, the belt on a 7MM Mag. is an ingenious solution to a non-existent problem. There was no good reason to put a belt on the 7MM magnum anyway...except they wanted to use standard belted cases when they developed that cartridge.
