Hello,
I have a 3 peice die set made by RCBS (PART NUMBER 55000) for sale. I also have 125 loaded rounds and 100 empty cases. The loaded rounds were made from .222 cases and the empties from 6x47 cases. Any questions please ask and I will accept any honest and reasonable price. Thanks.

About the dies....sizer, seater, and what is the third die? Are you willing to separate? I would be interested in the empties made from 6x47 cases. Thanks

Side note. I have some 7mm Helm dies. Anyone know what cartridge that is. I know it is longer than a 7TCU.

I think it is based on the 222Magum case necked up to 7mm, same shoulder angle and body taper

There are actually 2 7mm helm cartridges, There is the 7x47 Helm which is the 222 Rem Mag case necked up to 7mm (basically the 7x47).

The other is the 7x50 Helm based on the 5.56 x 50 case. I cannot even find a diagram for this Case!

I have a rifle in a 7x47 Helm. It is indeed a 222 Mag case necked up to 7mm. I also have a 6x47 rifle, same parent case. It is a bit longer than a 223 case, although the 223 will work. The shoulder is more conventional than the 7 TCU, not sure without checking but I'm guessing it's 25 degrees +/-. I love my 6x47 rifle, I think the caliber was designed as a benchrest cartridge by Mike Walker of Remington fame, and was popular before the 6PPC came into play. Federal made 6x47 nickel plated match brass, I still have some.
