    Thanks, I didn't know that. Like so much in my life, my "New" reloading stuff is getting pretty old. I have not bought dies in a long while.

    At a certain point a person forgets how to remember time. Just recently the water heater died, and I was ticked because "I just changed it a couple years back". I found the receipt, it was 9-1/2 years ago....
    Heres one of my sets of rifle carbide.
    They are the shizzle for sure.

    The nice thing about carbide dies with straight mouth pistol cartridges is that lube is not required. Some of the very old die sets did not have the carbide ring. Too bad carbide dies are not available for bottle neck rifle cases.
    I'm still learning new things everyday ;)
    Maybe that's why I never got problems, I've only loaded 9mm and .38 Special so far. Haven't tried 5.56/.223 but I was told it's not as easy.

    Clean rifle cases, add RCBS case lube to pad, roll cases on pad, run cases thru sizing die, small brush with lube applied to one in every 5 cases inside of neck, DONE. I Haven't stuck a case in over 25 years. Some of you guys are just over thinking the process.
