I'm looking for used but in good shape carbide dies for .357 magnum and .270 win. any brand will work as long as they will thread into a RCBS press im trying to get away from having to lube my cases.

Thanks Scott

PLEASE NOTE : IF you do find carbide dies in 270WCF [ they do make 'em and godawful expensive ] you will STILL have to lube the brass.
Personally I still lube all pistol brass going through the carbide pistol dies as it cuts the workload pressures about 75%.

I thought the whole point to carbide is so you don't have to use case lube.
BUMP PLEASE

NO !! NOT quite. The reason Carbide dies were invented was for extended die life. An ammunition plant could wear out steel dies in ONE day of production. In an ammunition plant everything going through their carbide dies is well lubricated from beginning to end, and is cleaned afterwards.
You HAVE to use lube in bottleneck cartridge carbide dies unless you're looking for a world of headaches with stuck cases like you've never seen before.

Well thanks for the info don't want any stuck cases been there when I first started reloading I got a case stuck and wont do that again.

Thanks Scott
