[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2403660, member: 796"] When you are reading the technical part of your loading manual(s), which it is vital you do BEFORE you start loading, look at the various types of dies and the difference between reloading straight-walled pistol cases and bottlenecked rifle cases. Carbide rifle dies are very expensive, somewhat fragile, and not available in all calibers. Even if you can get one in 7.62 X 39, break one carbide ring and there goes all the savings from reusing steel cases. Steel work hardens quickly, and puts more stress on the dies. Like I said, your choice. But similar to many other things, reloading steel sounds really good on the surface: the devil is in the details. [/QUOTE]
