So what I'm wondering is will a steel die make as good of a bullet as a carbide? How well would they last for someone who is only making their own bullets. I only shoot local club benchrest matches and most are shooting 115 Bergers with 2 shooting BiBs which are hard to get here in Canada.
Is the extra cost of the carbide worth it for someone who will only make less than probably 5000 a year?
What I'm after is a benchrest quality bullet for my 30br and am debating between a 7ogive and a 10ogive using a 1" jacket in the 115 to 118gr range.
