LEE Die Question

[tred1956]

Are LEE pistol dies marked if they are carbide? And if so how are they marked? The reason I ask is when I look at suppliers like Midway USA all I see in pistol calibers are Carbide dies. The sets I have had in the past with instructions had carbide on the paper work but I did not see carbide on the dies. Somebody please educate an Old Man LOL

Thanks

See the inner circle on the die mouth ?
That's the carbide sizer ring . Mine don't have any on the die marks .
It is on the data sheet of my 460 S&W in the box .

I have a set of Lee 45acp dies. Is there an easy way to tell if they are carbide or not.
