[QUOTE="TR1Hemi, post: 3001614, member: 122752"] It's a ONE time purchase! And .223/5.56 are a plinking caliber. I have brass I have loaded 20 times. The same rules do not apply to 300WM reloading. When you are talking varmint or plinking with an AR you count in K's not 100's. Carbide offers new like operation after 10K rounds. Carbide is tolerant of less lube. Carbide is not just a different metal, it is hard enough to mirror polish, thus cases come out shinier, and are less prone to get stuck. 1. With regular dies, if you run range brass, or get once fired brass, they better be spotless or over time you dies will get vertical scratches, and then so will your brass. 2. With Carbide, they are less likely to get stuck on the occasional piece that does not have enough lube. 3. If you put mirror polished new brass in a carbide they will come out the same, in a regular die they come out looking like new factory brass. In pistol calibers, carbide offer long life and you dont have to lube. In rifle you still have to lube, but not as liberally. Some people are happy with a $200 barrel, some wont spend less than $400, some NEED a $600. Same with optics, a $200 will get the job done, some people will scoff at any glass less than $500, and Swarovski and Nightforce make money selling $2000 scopes. What do you need? Hi volume AR? Get a carbide. [/QUOTE]
