I believe you're referring to carbide and non carbide. Most all dies are now carbide and are what you should get.

They have a taper crimp. Which I am not sold on...I prefer the Dillon crimp die. BUT there is a significant price difference.

They have different dies in the set! The yellow box (Gray set as they call it) has the full sizing, dead seating and neck sizing dies. The Red set (deluxe) has the full sizing, dead seating, and crimping die but not the neck (collet) sizing die. Depending on what you are doing you may need all 4 dies and they some calibers have a full set which is called the ultimate die set for example the Lee .270 WIN Ultimate Rifle 4 Die Set: Lee Precision Reloading 270 WIN Ultimate Rifle Die Set You just have to watch to make sure what you buy what you need or you will have to buy the missing die separate. Hope that helps. They have different dies in the set! The yellow box (Gray set as they call it) has the full sizing, dead seating and neck sizing dies.

There are two colors, grey and silver( the dealer calls it gun metal color). I ordered 3 online all were the grey color although the descriptions don't really tell you that. Also a good idea is to take a picture of your rim and compare to the pictures. I ended up going to the dealer, but they did not have it in stock. They had to order it. You can't look at the picture online and tell. You won't know until you put they side by side and notice the vast diference in color.

No difference. All loads the same. Only thing might be if this brass was fired in a block. It will have a bulge in bottom of case that regular dies will not remove. You will need a Lee bulge buster and a Lee taper crimp die to get loaded ammo to work in most pistols. Do search for glocked brass it will explain it all.

You know after looking at several I have no idea what they are talking about some list red, silver and grey. Just go with the Carbide dies. you are right with carbide you don't need lube.

There used to be a shot shell die set, you had to remove the black collar the other dies fit into, as the shotshell die was huge. It didn't work all that well, and for the price, you could just get a shotshell press as the other replies mentioned.

Yes, the die is the embossing plate. It has your specific information on it.

Carbide dies are harder and don't require lube or very little (rifle) and they can be used on nickel plated brass. Grey, are standard dies less expensive , softer steel but good value. If you are loading pistol and use brass cases , steel dies are fine. I am slowly switching to carbide but have steel dies I have used for 30 years. Just don't leave either in an aluminum press when not in use, electro chem reaction corrodes dies. ruined on set that way.

I understand that if the "part No." has 23BY at the end (e.g. FX888D-23BY) it is blue & yellow. Otherwise there is nothing at the end and it is silver/grey..... check the "part no." instead of just the "model no."

As far as I know, it only comes in a grey/black powdercoat finish commonly known as silver vein.

It does not include any dies...it comes with a few magnetic sheets. You will love having your dies all together!!

They changed the look on their products. But, essentially is the same. Blue on silver is the new look. Hope this helps.

Hi Dennis The one I purchased has a silver grey trigger button. And it is flawless, works great.

In grey dies you MAY have to use a case lube. The silver due is designed not to have to use a lube. Else you get the cases stuck in the die which is a nightmare.

As far as I can tell it's just cosmetic. I have the black model and a friend uses the silver, can not tell any difference in performance.
