Hylander, I run the 375 Win brass through a 30-30 die backed off enough to form the neck to the same length as the 7-30, then full length size in a 7-30 Waters die, you might want to debur inside and out first. Hope this helps some, Albert
I think the best way to get good 7-30 brass is to buy it from Federal. It lasts well, is much stronger than .30-30 brass, and is much easier than making it from .375 Win.
I made several hundred 7-30 cases from 375 win brass recently. I had very good results using imperial sizing wax and just runing them into a 7-30 die. I have been told that some people run them into a 30 herrett size and trim die first. I did not find this step needed. check the neck thickness. needs a couple of thousand's clearence to release the bullet. I did have excellent results with this brass.
