Lee does not make a 7 mm 08 Lee loader. Although they do make Custom equipment, I bet they won't do it right now due to what is going on. I wanted to get a 7 mm 08 portable reloading set for one of my rifles. After comparing case sizes, I purchased a 7 mm Remington Magnum Lee loader. This already has the correct neck size; remember that these sets only neck size.
Using a 6 inch cut off saw, I cut .46 inches off the base of their die. File and Sand edges smooth. Remember those little cases for glass cartridge automobile fuses? The metal on those is .010 thick. Hammered a couple flat, use scissors to cut the appropriate size, constructed a circular shim that perfectly fit on the inside of the die. This keeps the case from wiggling side to side.
Trial and error, picked the correct Lee dipper to dispense the right amount of my chosen powder. Adjust bullet seating depth appropriately.
Tried out some rounds made using this contraption, and they grouped favorably with ones made on my press.
