Nice! Whatever keeps you shooting. I am a big fan of stuff like this. I have pushed many different Campro bullets to 2000fps and beyond without issues. If you ever desire more speed it should be no problem.

Brass neck sized maximizes # of reloads & headspaces more precisely on shoulder (rather than on that superfluous belt).

well you could get yourself something like a 325WSM if you want something odd with no belt :)

I'd be a bald-face liar if I said I hadn't considered grabbing that extreme weather model 70 in .325WSM currently on the EE.
I'd have it re-barreled into a 350 Sambar/WSM lickety-split!

But,alas, I shot a 350RM in both a Model Seven CDL and a Ruger M77 for many years in my younger days. Used to form my own brass from 7mm, no big trick.
My shoulder is starting to ache with all this 350 reminiscing.

thinking my process will be cut some belted mag brass to ~2.2" which ends up ~.50 dia, then run it into a modified 350mag die that has been opened up to ~10 mm or 7/16" with a carbide drill bit, which brings neck size down some
then use the proper 350 mag resizer die then trim to finish lenth on the trimmer
No more fuss than using the specialized 350 forming die, but I already have the extra die to drill out

While looking for an intermediate cartridge die to use instead of modifying a die, I ran across the 416 Express round, now my interest is up for that
 
I was able just to cut a 1x fired case to length with a tubing cutter then resized with a standard 350RM die.Then I trimmed to length. It was just a proof of concept .Most often mentioned was to use new Winchester brass, as it was the thinnest . Redding made a 7mmRM to 350RM conversion die at one time.That's what you are doing by chopping the top off a 7mmRM die . Dies are hardened steel, so you need a Zipcut, then grind with mini grinder. However, digging in the stash, I found another bag. It's also a good reason to get into annealing to extend the life of the brass. Wholesale Sports always had bags of 350RM brass, so I never loaded up. A bit foolish on my part.
