Included Components:
Carbide Resizing Die: Expertly crafted carbide die for resizing the brass case and removing the spent primer. This die eliminates the need for lubricating the case during the resizing process, ensuring a cleaner and more efficient workflow while preserving the integrity of the brass.

Carbide Factory Crimp Die: This specialized carbide die provides a robust and uniform crimp, allowing the user to close the case mouth as tightly as necessary without risking damage to the brass. This die is highly recommended for cartridges intended for lever-action or semi-automatic firearms, where reliable feeding and chambering are critical.
