Non carbide Lee 9mm dies
« on: October 02, 2020, 10:41:27 AM »
My friend is letting me borrow his 9mm Lee die set.

Says they are non carbide.  I did a quick google and didn’t find any non carbide Lee 9mm dies.  I’m guessing the dies are about 10 years old.

Did/does lee make non carbide 9mm dies?  I’m wondering if he just forgot.   

I’ll find out tomorrow if any of the cases get stuck :-)

There is a way to tell if the sizing die is a carbide die. I believe if you look at the bottom of the die you will see that it looks like it it sleeved. I believe that sleeve is the carbide insert. I checked my Lee pistol dies and they all have what looks like a sleeve inserted into the die body. When I check my Lee Rifle dies there is no sleeve apparent since they are not carbide. I also checked my very old non carbide pistol cartridge dies and they do not have the sleeve either.

I hope this helps.

Those panic buyers should have picked something else....like a baseball bat.
No need powder, primers, bullets.
A good hit with a bat delivers a little more energy than a round of 45 ball.
No need permit or registration.

Baseball bats are exempt because it is not a sharp object.
It's also a remarkable visual deterrent.
