Carbide Die Question

[riverwalker76]

Does anyone make a Carbide resizing die for .223 Remington? I've looked online at Hornady, Lee, & RCBS, but can't find anything in .223 that is carbide.

Dillon makes a carbide die set for .223, but you should note this in their ad -

For high volume users, such as commercial reloaders, law enforcement agencies, and high power or service rifle competitors, we also offer .223 and .308 die sets with a full-length carbide sizing die. Lubrication is still required, but the increased scratch resistance and die longevity of carbide are of great benefit to these groups of users.

My understanding is that, unless you are reloading thousands of rounds per month, you generally can't wear out a standard die set. But they are available, if you don't mind the $115 price for the single die...

Then I should probably stick to the regular die since I do a large volume of reloading in .223 . Thanks
