danebrewer10 6 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I've heard conflicting info regarding carbide does, some say you don't have to lube them, some say you do and that they are only scratch resistant... so which is it it? or is it both depending on the circumstance?

Cheers DB Carbide dies are for stright-walled pistol brass. You don't need to lube the cases. I think someone makes/made bottle-necked dies in .308 or .30/06 or something but they were awfully expensive and you still needed to lube them which sort of defeats the object. I think they may have been like that for high volume automatic machines for commercial ammo production to save them wearing out. What you loading, .357, .44, or similar I'm guessing? J.
