Does Lee make this set (or any other .308 Win) with a carbide full length sizer?

Not sure about 308. But i have seen bottle neck cartridges made in carbide no lube specifications. Although they are pricey, usually around 120-200. Check out big blue Dillon Precision

I had always been under the impression that only the pistol-caliber resizing dies were available in full-length carbide. I have never seen one in .308 or any other rifle caliber

No one makes a "full" carbide FL sizing die for rifles. The expander ball is the only carbide part of those dies (rifle "carbide" dies will still tell you to lube during use) Right now the only true full length carbide sizing dies are for straight wall cartridges (i.e. most pistol cartridges).

The Lee dies that come with the press are the carbide three die set that include the sizing and depriming die, the powder through die, and the bullet seating die. I purchased the universal depriming die, and the factory crimp die for the press. It works great with this set up.

No. You will have to use case lube on all rifle FL sizing dies, even if they are carbide.

No. Is the answer. I own both of the 4 die sets. I reload 9mm and .380. I tried to load the 380 using the 9mm stuff and ended up buying the 380 set.

You can order parts directly from lee. But it is cheaper to buy the whole package. They come with individual caliber.

You would need a die set for that specific caliber. Prices may vary from manufacture to manufacture. A good cheaper die set would probably be Lee Dies. If you're doing straight-walled brass like majority of the handgun brass, a carbide die will help even though it costs a bit more because you don't have to lube the brass.

Yes you will need the correct dies as with any caliber round. Lee dies are 20-30 dollars on avg

Yes, this kit has all that you would need. The decapping die "sizing die" is included in this die set. You can tell which one it is because you will see a metal "pin" like protrusion coming from the bottom of the die. In addition, if you are new to reloading, I would highly recommend that you go to Lee Precision's website for instructional videos or you tube on how to safely reload. This is one area where mistakes can be quite unforgiving.

Sorry, I used a Chinese model 53 Carbine Mosin Nagant Style Rifle, Had to do some sanding/Grinding for it to Fit Like I wanted. I have a Hex Barrel 91/30 and the original stock is pretty decent, All serial numbers match,The Hex Receiver is worth more as a collectors Gun, leave it as is,if you can.

Yes but not worth the money in my opinion I had two of them and couldn't even get 50 shells of 30 06 six done without the pin bending and snapping. No more lee for me. Lake city brass. I wanted to save wear on my CBS dies but it was of my time. To ken.t

There are a few companies that make carbide neck size dies. Dillon makes carbide full length sizers, but these still require case lube, they are designed to last a long time in commercial progressive applicationsRedding,

There are 2 sizing dies. One for use with brass already fired in your rifle, and the other for brass used in other guns. It's a bit more complicated to use, but I wish I could exchange my other dies for the Lee Precision Deluxe.

I have a Hornady L&L; AP and use these lee dies in mine. You just need to remember to get the L&L; bushings that the dies set in.

Lee makes a 300 H&H; mag die and I am pretty sure this hand press will reload that cal. It is a pretty universal system as long as you have the die set.

No. Only need to lube cases if: The dies you are using are not carbide or the case is bottle necked, like a .357 Sig or a rifle case. I lube all rifle cases bottlenecked or not. You cannot do a .308 conversion, the press doesn't have enough travel according to the Lee representative I spoke with.

In the Lyman 3 die carbide die set only the sizing die is marked TC for tungston carbide, the neck expanding and bullet seating dies are not and due to their function do not need to be carbide. The sizing die gets the hard use and carbide usually allows you to resize with out lube if the cases are clean. If need be you can tumble your brass first. I use a Lyman tumbler beacause it is "MADE IN USA" to the best of my knowledge .

Not really sure,there was a rather large selection of .308 model laser sights available when i was looking for this one.
