This is my first posting to this news group, pardon me if it is a little
rough. I am considering the purchase of a carbide resizer die for my .357
magnum and .38 special reloading chores. I have never seen one in action.
My questions are:
1. Do these things really work like the companies advertise?
2. Do they really require no resizing lube to be applied?
3. Do they really polish the cases after some use?
4. For those who have used these type of dies, which brand would
you recommend, Dillion, Lyman, or some other brand?
I've been loading the old way for a long time now and if there is some way
to get around the sticky goop, I'm all for it.
thanx,
Dennis Farnden

They do not require any sticky goop, you just reload. You only need the resizer die to be carbide. I use them with a Dillon progressive reloader, although my dies are RCBS.
