[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 724094, member: 9215"] Used dies are fine unless they've been physically damaged - and that's hard to do - or rusted, which is easy to do. I've happily purchased quite a few used dies over the years but, considering the modest cost of dies, it hardly seems worthwhile to pay more than 50% of new, delivered, dies. And RCBS certainly doesn't always replace defective used die bodies. I haven't a clue who or what "LGS" is but most of what I see on eBay these days goes for such high prices that I no longer buy there. Lee's quite excellant new dies with shell holder are rarely much more costly than used dies and new ones quite often end up costing less than used ones! The personal choice of steel or carbide sizers for pistol rounds isn't as clear as some think, that's why some steel sizers are still around. [/QUOTE]
