Terrible Dies
I bought these carbide dies in 9mm. These things are terrible. Don't waste your money like I did. First the rings are not locking rings and second, the resizer/decapping die was so tight, I could not even turn the top part to lower the decapping pin using my hands and my tools. Hence I ruined this die. I should have spent the extra money on Redding. Never had a problem with them. Lee dies are the worst.
