Had one setting around for years and today I finally set it up. Anyone know if those are carbide dies? Do you need to lube case's?

[bosterr]

Yes, the size die is carbide. No lube needed

[Don Fischer]

Thank you sir. I was hoping that.

It's not required but you might try it anyway, reduces the force it takes quite a bit.

[runfiverun]

best way to tell is to look in the die.
if there is a ring right there at the bottom it's carbide or nitride.
if it's just a hole that's slightly tapered it needs lube.

SDB uses their own special dies and the resizer is carbide

Agree that a bit of lube is well worth reducing effort

[Iowa Fox]

I always lube anything that gets sized in a carbide die. The handle pulls oh so much easier. Plus, after a while streaks of brass and nickle will build up on the carbide ring leaving scratches on your brass. Never a problem with the cases that were lubed.

Have 2 of them, always light lube to make it easier to resize.
