[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1842013, member: 112413"] Sinclair would be my choice but 21st is also comparable quality, I own the sinclairs and they are excellent. Carbide will last longest and work better without lube, the coated are the mid priced and coating will wear off slowly. Steel are cheapest but will slide hardest without lube and scratch the brass sometimes. Try the steel first and see what you think of them, replace with carbide if you like em. Lot of loader's like to not use lube inside the necks, like to case neck brush em' and go. Dry graphite would be best if you use something. I use nothing myself. You have to size with something, I use sizing dies with the expander button's removed. I would suggest you look at lee collet/mandrel neck dies with no lube. Amazing concentricity and do it all in one step. Hope I helped Dave [/QUOTE]
