Carbide Dies
Quote from Reloader on September 6, 2009, 12:17 amHey I was reading on the Dillon sight about carbide dies and it states you still need to use case lube. I thought the whole idea of carbide dies was no lube? Anyone have any answers?

Carbide rifle dies are intended to increase die life for large volume use, not to eliminate the need for lubing the cases.

On bottleneck cases, use of carbide , while decreasing the amount of lube necessary, is primarily for die longevity and scratch resistance. A steel size die has an estimated lifespan of about 40,000 cases, whereas a carbide size die has an estimated life of about 750,000 cases.
