Default Trying to be careful

So, I pick up my first reloader kit, look through the threads here (especially the sticky up on top) to try and get what i need to get started.

I drive 55 miles, each way, to pick up a Shell holder for my 7mm Rem Mag. I call the store the night before to see if they have it. Guys says "plenty". I get there in the morning and they don't have any.
"Sorry"
I get a little upset that i drove that far and add the fact that now i don't have what i need to get started.

The guy hands me a shell holder for a 7mm wsm. Says, it will work just fine. I look at the back of the package and it does not list a 7mm Rem Mag as one of the cartriges that it fits.

Guy says "'Ive been loading for 20 years ". It's the same thing and will work fine".

Again guys, this is day 1 for me and reloading. I passed on this guiys advice and walked away. Was he right?
