    dherr,
    I believe you can find the dies on the special die group lists of the larger die makers. You should look on the lists shown by the makers themselves because dealers often only list the most popular dies. Failing this, you can always have RCBS (see Huntington Die Specialties) or CH4D make you a set (check their special dies list first, though, in case they have a set, in stock). To obtain cases, the most economical way is to make them yourself from 9.3x72R cases which may be manufactured by S&B, Norma, and/or RWS and marketed by suppliers such as Buffalo Arms, Graf & Sons, Huntington, and others. In my experience on making cases, similar to 7x72R, the work will be easier if you buy a "file trim" die made for 32-40 Win. & Ballard and size the 9.3x72R cases as far as you can with it before sizing them with the 7x72R dies (note, 9,3x72R has a slightly larger head diameter than 32-40 Win. does). While I don't have experience with it, the 7x72R is an interesting cartridge and I hope you have fun with it.

      Bought my 7x72R dies from CH4D several years ago. They took less than 3 weeks fom order to arrival in Germany. Bought Sellier & Bellot 9.3x72R brass locally. Simply full length resized the cases. As they grew slightly longer on tapering down, slight trimming to 72 mm was necessary. My load: 139 gr S&B rn bullet, 36 gr VV N140.
